Christmas break and all is busy as usual non-holiday-wise. You didn't think that I could just sit and relax, did you? I have been hand-sewing my applique baltimore blocks in the evening while watching Doogie Howser. How's that for a throwback in time.
Anyways, we have made great strides on the remodel. About three weeks ago we got the drywall done, primed, textured, primed and painted. In the midst of our first big snow-storms we headed to Lowe's and got cabinets for above the Washer and Dryer and for the end wall. All up and installed. Back again for the vanity, a station wagon can only hold so much and we really didn't want to look like the Beverly Hillbillies. Bert had pulled up the linoleum and much of the backing stayed along with the glue, wax and other crud. He spent over a week scraping the entire floor down to the cement with a razor blade device. Needed to do so for the tile cement to adhere. And that is what I did today. Tiled, for over twelve hours. It's all done though. Took so long because I am picky, not totally sure what I am doing, and just slow at doing it. It looks great though. Will grout day after tomorrow, treat the next day, Thursday hopefully put in vanity and sink and toilet and except for the shower, it will be done. Pictures promised then.
I'm exhausted, my back is killing me from bending over all day so I am going to get a back rub and then off to bed.
Hope your holidays have been good and safe and stay that way.
