My girl works hard!


Now during this whole blog update / house remodel stuff I believe that I have failed to mention or state just how hard my wife works at all of this. This whole thing is a team effort. I can't really think of a project that hasn't been 50/50 other than the concrete countertops. From paint, to drywall, to floors, my wife works hard!

Anyways.....another hard night of tile. Well it really isn't difficult work, measure, cut, sticky stuff, place it, second guess, adjust, add spacers, curse, step back, adjust, re-cut, smile. (I have really only been doing the cut, measure, and curse part of all of that, Sandy has been doing the rest)

Tonight we didn't get as far as we really wanted, mostly due to the late start and the fact that the walls on this old house have some wavey-ness. After making some minor adjustments and having some small fits on some hardi-board, we started. We wrapped up around 9:30 tonight with about 60% finished product. Hopefully we knock the rest of it out tomorrow and are able to grout this weekend....oh this weekend is going to be HUGE!

Here are some before and mid-point pictures for all the picture freaks

I just wanted to come by to say that you are a sweet man to say that about your wife. Aren't wives just the best?;-)

And your after photo is looking sharp!
