caulk is cheap
sometimes i wonder what previous owners were thinking when they did these things.
on second thought … i don’t really want to know.
it doesn’t work from here
no, it’s not supposed to go here. guess what this means?
it’s like camping — at home!

i hurt everywhere
so, 29 total hours into the kitchen & miscellany this weekend (15 saturday, 14 sunday). got the wainscoting demo’ed, rehung the cabinets, demo’ed countertops, demo’ed sink, installed plywood/hardibacker. our kitchen/bathroom/tile/interior decorator got started on the tile on countertops and backsplashes - 1/2 the kitchen is tiled now.
oh, in brief interludes i also mowed the lawn, built a large pressure-treated planter, thatch raked and reseeded parts of the lawn. ugh.
grout is going in on 1/2 tonight, tile on the other 1/2. we should have a working kitchen sink by wednesday!
35 Days until our trip. kitchen will be done this week. bathroom is next!
