3:30 this morning, I’m awakened by the sound of something like a windshield being smashed. I look around and don’t see anything. I walk into my bathroom and the floor (tiles) creak, bounce.
These floors have been down for 14+ years. None of them cracked, not even the grout. They just popped up off the concrete.
I’m guessing the walls swole a little from the cold, and the tiles were placed in too tight.

you'll probably find some tile & grout at a garage sale tomorrow to swap 'em out.

You forgot to leave a faucet dripping.

That just cost you 8 dollars a square foot. Call your insurance agency if you dont have money.

You should’ve had heated floors.

Why would the walls expand due to cold? I believe your analysis is incorrect.

That is too bad. Not very clutch. All that was needed was a ground ball on the infield and the run would have scored...

May indicate some moisture under the tile froze and expanded.
