I have a tile floor in my kitchen and it was only installed up to the
cupboards. I also have a dishwasher or should I say had a dishwasher
and it was not tiled underneath the machine, it did make it a pain in
the ass to pull it out ,I had to push up on the top of the cupboard to
get it out, but it only took like 10 mins maybe and it was done. Hope
this helped!

I did some tiling years ago but not a kitchen.

One thing that puzzles me, but is probably a really dumb question is:

- do you tile the whole floor, or only up to where the cupboards are
going to be?

I have seen on the web where you only do up to the cupboard base, but
does that not make it a bear to get the dishwasher in and out because
of the lip between tile height and sub-floor?

Obviously it would be cheaper that way, and that means you would put
the floor in AFTER the cupboards as opposed to before as we were
intending to do?

Help please!? We need to figure out the sequence here soon.....!
