... is for doing a home improvement project that you've been avoiding.
John is getting ready to tile the bathroom floor in MD.
He's measuring and actually doing the work, but I'm lending lots of moral support.
And when we work up enough motivation, we'll move onto the kitchen floor next!
Oh wow! That's a ton of work...but it will be so nice when it's finished. Great idea for the marble rolling pin (which I cannot believe you found at Goodwill!!).
ReplyDeleteWow. My 1950s house had that same type of flooring in the bathroom when we bought it (just the black and white version). It's been covered now!
ReplyDeleteSO much work! Dale and I tiled our very small front entryway and that was enough for us. I hope it goes smoothly!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Oy... that looks like a lot of work! But that rolling pin! Sweet find!
ReplyDeleteTile work is back-breaking, so John has my sympathies. It will be fabulous when it is over. I have a rolling pin like that, but I had to pay retail for mine! By the way, Bonny, the Indian pudding was a disappointment. It was watery and unimpressive. Pumpkin pie is much better.
ReplyDeleteOh boy. Good luck!! (It's going to look so great!!)
ReplyDeleteWhoa. I know it's gonna look great ... as will the kitchen! (for all the house projects, my job is always moral support ... and honestly, I think sometimes it is the harder job :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is so impressive. Fireman and I are thinking of tiling the porch floor. It is cement with a little indoor outdoor carpet on it now. But because we got 9 inches of snow yesterday, neither of us want to go out there!!!
ReplyDeleteWe had our porch tiled and it is the best thing ever!
DeleteIt might be easier to tile your porch than the bathroom. Hopefully there wouldn't be any complicated places to cut and fit around like the tub, toilet, sink, molding, etc. Wait until warmer weather in spring!
DeleteYou and your hubby are fearless when it comes to home improvement projects. I love the multi-purpose tool.
ReplyDeleteSmith spent last month completely redoing our main floor bath (1/2 bath). Working on days off and after work almost every night extended the project a bit, as did the problems encountered along the way. It's done. On time. Good thing as we had company for the T-day weekend. I wish you and John a swift and easy tile installation joy!
ReplyDeleteI hope it all went well! I have one of those rolling pins...a wedding gift 31 years ago. Now if I'd only used it 31 times! :-)
ReplyDeleteThree things: 1 - I need to get myself to Goodwill now and again. 2 - RED toilet!!! 3 - Your new floor is going to be awesome. XO
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky to have someone handy around to do this kind of work -- we have to call in the professionals!
ReplyDeleteI'm good at moral support as well, also general contractor telling people what to do :) I bet it's going to look awesome!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting...a use for a rolling pin! Love the look of your new floor. Enjoy!
