Tile
I was getting a little frustrated at the lack of available tile at the building supply stores on the island. My contractor suggested I go to Fecobe. It's on the main road from Eldon's down to the water, on the west side of the road. They have hundreds of options. AMAZING!!! We spent probably an hour trying to figure out a combination we wanted because they have so many choices. I'll add pictures when it's done.
Make sure you watch your order, they had free delivery and I wasn't at the delivery site when they dropped off the tile, so I have to exchange some. I needed 7 sq mts of the floor tile and 17 of the wall tile and they reversed them. I went back to the store and they sent out the new tile the next morning and picked up the extra.
Now the error I made. Watch the prices closely. I found some lovely tile for my shower and only needed 1.7 mts. The price on the tile was $22 - I ASSUMED that was sq mt like all the other tile. NOOOOO it was per tile. So $220 a square meter. OUCH! The won't take it back. That's one thing I've learned here in Roatan - most places have a no return policy. ACE Hardware is one store that will take returns within 7 days. So I have a very expensive shower floor and it's not even gold plated!
