Busy Weekend

We, meaning my husband and myself, started our latest project this weekend. We ripped out the entire entry floor and bathroom......ceramic tiles suck. It wasnt near as bad as we thought it was going to be..and very theraputic.

After a few trips to the local Home Depot store Tim began ripping up the tile. I have to say its pretty cool watching your husband get all grimy and dirty doing manual labor instead of sitting on the computer. It took about an hour and a half for us to get all the tile up, I say us because I actually was allowed to help rip the floor up. I think it was because his back was getting tired from leaning over in an awkward angle, but whatever.

We actually got through this project without any kind of snipping at eachother which was a surprise. I think the biggest issue was attempting to keep the kids and the dogs out of the area as we worked. Our date for Saturday night turned into me running to get Chipolte and beer, but all in all it went well. The tiles were set and all that was left was for him to do the final cuts in the morning.

Morning, my mother calls at 8:OO a.m. by accident thank God. We forgot to turn the clocks forward and realized that is was actually 9:00 a.m. and we had two hours to get the wet saw back to Home Depot.

Ok...we got it done. I found out that I grout better than my husband, and that I am a lot neater also. He worked on cutting the back of our new vanity cabinet so it would fit, and I learned that knee pads are a must when grouting a floor. The grout is not drying as dark as we would like it too, and I am a little irratated with that.

What a busy weekend. And next weekend doesnt look much better. Counter tops have to come off so the new ones can be installed...oh yeah...my toilets still sitting on the back deck...so that has to be put on and the sink has to be reconnected after I finish painting the walls in the bathroom....and there is just a little bit of grouting left to do.......and hes gone again....

Lacrosse practive starts this week, I have to go get my drivers license renewed....etc..etc....I hate Mondays.....
