How long has the chipped tile been set? Pulling tiles within a day are usually relatively easy. And they get much tougher with each passing day.

I went at it from the side with a large flat head and it came in two pieces pretty easy. Don't know if that's a good thing or not. Can I leave the clip feet in or should I remove and re install a new tile without them?

Might want to remove the feet, Rigo. The feet are hard against the bottom of the existing tile. If you aren't careful with your mortar placement you might end up with mortar on top of the feet, thus possibly raising the height of the replacement tile.

Only being 24 hours, that’s normal. Today would have been harder and tomorrow would have been much harder, still.

What's that one big hole for, Rigo?
Your local BBS will have hole saws that will cut through the tile and mortar. You'll want to spritz it with water as you cut so the hole saw doesn't over heat. Not sure how they'll do cutting whatever is under though.

Hi Dan, that's a drain for my washer pan. I bought a drill bit for tile and was gonna use that. Saw someone do it on u tube, wanted y'alls opinion.

I would highly advise against using that hammer-drill-bit for going through floor tile. You might get lucky...or you may do more damage than you think.
I’d recommend a diamond-grit holesaw. Unlike that carbide-tipped bit, a diamond-grit holesaw will grind its way through you tile. It’s quite gentle. Most box stores carry such bits for ~$10-$15.

Glad you got it wrapped up, Rigo, nice way to end the year!
Good luck with your move. We'll be here when your dad puts you to work.
