monday they came and finished the tilework for the bathrooms, including regrouting the shower. apparently the shop had INSISTED that the sanded grout would be fine for the shower and wouldn’t give them the non-sanded grout. that you’re supposed to use for showers b/c otherwise it doesn’t hold properly. shockingly, the sanded didn’t hold properly [...]
well, thursday my folks were here for the house again. they tiled the three bathroom floors (basement was left un touched so a toilet worked). there was a bit of a scare when my dad said the tiles were brown and i’m thinking mud/chocolate (the floor is sand, the walls are a somewhat darker color [...]
but you can’t blame us! took my shower at the gym this morning, they arrived ~10 (they told my dad last night 9-9:30, so i ended up more than a little late to my 9:15 appt; resched’d to 10:45) they did some in the living room until about lunch when they had to go to [...]
tuesday was day 2=1. i had scheduled to go to work tth this week, figuring i wanted to be home monday (when they started; oops), friday (when they finished …. uh) and wednesday (well, actually, i had a dr’s appt, had to be home anyway) so my mom came in the morning to let them [...]
sunday, after dropping K at camp and kiir at the airport, I came home and cleaned out the bathrooms and decided to patch the two drywall holes. since they were doing the bathrooms. wow, cutting drywall makes a lotta dust! and apparently I’m not real clear on how to make straight cuts with my dremel [...]
yesterday was the first day of the contractors working on the floors & bathrooms. i spent sunday night moving stuff and making sure all the bathrooms were cleared out (i also did some drywall patching, since i figured i might as well hit that step BEFORE they put in fancy brand new floors ;) so [...]
so, how do i do the part on the front, then “click here to read the rest” bit with wp? b/c i was going to do it, then i realized i didn’t know how … yeah, that’s kindofa nuisance. must read docs :o
the last couple days i never got around to posting. thursday i got home and i was depressed, bored, tired. bad combo :/ was gonna blog. but decided that took too much effort. in the end, i ended up playing eq2 for a couple hours (got some real progress too, wow!) yesterday i was still [...]
someone stole my trashcan! it’s the same one that’s been there for the last 5 years since we moved in! it’s just like 75% of the OTHER trashcans on the street! what is there worth stealing??? the ONLY distinguishing feature(s) about my can, at this time, are: it has random papers kinda permanently encrusted to [...]
kiir went to some dar thing with my mom today (agreed, largely AfAIK, b/c i wasn’t going to be home so she figured she could keep my mom company, get brownie points with the inlaw, that kinda thing … two hours later, they declread today would be a holiday, but she’d committed :o) as she [...]
