    Well, the weekend is fast approaching and it looks like we’ll be tiling the entire first floor!  Knees get ready, and back don’t fail me now… :)  

    Our tile should arrive Saturday morning… fingers crossed!  So this means we’ll probably get the mortar, more spacers, and other tools/accessories on Friday night.  Saturday morning will probably be more about cleaning the first floor and moving tools to the second floor.  In addition, it is likely that I’ll pour cement to fill Master Bath Shower hole as well as waterproof the area and install some of the backerboard.  I anticipate by Saturday afternoon we’ll start laying tile and will be complete by Sunday.  Oops… forgot that we have a Christmas party on Saturday to attend, so I guess Sunday will be a tile focused day.  Darn!

    Oh well, here are this weekend’s projects:

    • Master Bath Shower enclosure (hole filled with cement and partial hardy board installed).
    • Tiling first floor
    • Carpet removal in Room 2
    • Paint touch ups (Mal, you’re almost there… only a few more strokes to go! :P )
    • Trim removal upstairs
    And if anything else happens… well, you’ll hear/read about it or see it next week.  :P 
    Later, al

  • TNT can’t hold me… :)

    You’ll have to read my latest post to really understand my TNT experience, but I had to write this post to let you know that I feel quite fine. Not sore one bit! I did finish knocking off those last 5-6 tiles as well as received a quote from K&M Coatings.  Lets just say that I believe in the high-quality work that K&M Coatings can provide in staining/polishing concrete, but we’ve chosen to utilize our funds in efficient manner: do it yourself tile.   Keeps roughly $2K in our pockets and moves us along on our timeline.  Not bad!  So, thanks K&M Coatings, but no thanks. :(

    So much has happened in the last few days that we’ve posted new pics of our forever changing baby: 12301 House Remodel.

    Where do I begin? Well, we got gas turned on Friday and now have hot water and heat. Oh Joy! :P Oh yah, one of the biggest things was that Mal came home from a long week of work in New Hampshire! YEAH! The bad thing is she’s sick! NOT GOOD! It was a long week but the dogs and I survived without incident. I’m glad to have her back home so 1) I can see and talk to her, 2) so evenings aren’t lonely and life isn’t lonely, 3) so we don’t have to play phone tag and 4) because I MISSED HER MUCH!

    Ok, back to the house… I still love ya much, MAL! :) New pics are posted now, so go take a look. The latest updates are as follows… Read more »
