No tongue and groove in this one. I’d be looking at at least 90 sqft of tile. Pricey, but still much cheaper than going the contractor route.
Hmm, that does explain why it'd need mortar, too. The tongue and groove stuff works like puzzle pieces and if you follow a lot of the other advice, it's not a terribly hard diy project. There's cheaper stuff out there, too, though you definitely notice the difference.
