I am posting because I have many friends who are interested in my tile laying saga! I am probably about half done with this project and am frankly exhausted! I did nothing except laundry, dishes and tile work for 3 days!! And then today, long day of classes, walk, dinner, tile!! I whine, I know!
So here is a bit of a rundown on what has been going on...........
Our bathroom needed some serious help, so I employed Carpenter Joe to get it done!! We started with a pretty old, dated, pink bathroom with an old, leaking bathtub and a really cold shower! Not a pleasant way to start or end the day. The window has been replaced, the tub removed with some effort, apparently, new plumbing put in all over the place and now a new bathtub.

| I will be done with pink now! |

| Demolition |
 |
| Rebuilding begins |
 |
| Bathtub disposal, the easy way! |
 |
| It took a little doing, but the tub was loaded and gotten rid of! |
 |
| New tub and beginning of tiles |
 |
| I will say, there was not a seam out of place! |
I have picked out pretty much everything that is going into this room, and so I have a personal stake in this! So I was elected to tile, much to my excitement and chagrin! Never have done it before, other than the random stuff that I do with concrete sculpture!! I am a random kind of person, so all that measuring and symmetry and precision is frightening! I do enjoy using a nice power tool, though!

| Grouting is fun- just keep saying it over and over. |

| This is how far I have gotten as of Sept. 6!!!! |
I have multiple days of work to do yet, but it is awesome to see it coming along. And I promise I will not do away with the Mad-Accountant before it is all said and done!! :)
Until next time, finding joy is sometimes really hard work!! But keep after it!
