Eric, if you look around you should be able to find some tile for $1.00/sf or less. When we built the studio/darkroom (24 ft X 32 ft) we found some close-out 12x12 tile at Home Despot for about $0.65/ sf. Just make sure they have enough - measured square footage plus ~ 10% and get it as one lot. Yes it takes time - more time is usually spent on lay-out, floor prep. and %^)#$% grouting/clean-up that actually putting the tile on the floor. We also had some stem walls to cover, so on went some more tile. Now a wet mop and shop vac keeps the place clean. One thing, if you do any tile work, get the GOOD thinset with the additives already in the mix - costs a bit more but does a better job.
