Another Project Down

I had to pass on my crew's annual backpacking trip to get the rent house ready. While we have made good progress, we are roughly about half way through my mental list of things I'd like to get done. The downstairs bathroom needed some attention, and I spent a good chunk of this weekend tiling.

The old tiles were removed and the concrete was exposed, cleaned, and prepped.

I cut and laid the tile yesterday, while Sweetheart cleaned, and purged a few rooms.

The grout was finished today, after letting the adhesive set. This week the toilet will be sat, vanity installed, and faucet put into working order.

I've had quite a list of project that are running concurrently. The doggy door has been finished except for painting the trim work. That will happen when the weather cooperates. The pantry door has been added and some tile work needs to happen in that room. The old wire racks will be installed until the funds become available for a bigger wooden shelving system. This is the room I'm most excited about...

The Klipsch speakers are tucked into the living room built-ins. This room needs painting before too much more can be completed. This will allow boxes to be unpacked, and items finally falling into place.

The boys bunk beds arrived, and of course Red Ant can now reach the ceiling fan, and pull chains. The fan is getting replaced with a low profile lighting fixture this week before a trip to the emergency room is needed.

The refrigerator will be here is supposed to be here tomorrow, and living with a dorm refrigerator has been an adventure, and an exercise in our Tetrising ability. I've joked with my wife that we living as Europeans. Meaning that we go to the grocery store every day. The little dorm frig has come in handy quite a few times since we've bought it, and I appreciate having not to run out into the garage to get milk for the boys in the mornings.

I may not be posting as often, but enjoy reading the blogs to my right. I'll post as projects or events happen. Oh yeah, a big announcement is coming Saturday, so stay tuned!!!
