Yesterday after 12 hours of work:<\/p>\n
<\/a>After<\/p><\/div>\n
There’s still a LOT to do. It’s a huge space. The dining room and kitchen are all one room but divided by the counter space. We still need to do the kitchen section, the pantry and then we’ll have to rent a wet saw to cut the tiles to fit around the edge of the room.<\/p>\n
We worked hard yesterday. There was a lot of prep work, measuring, double-checking. Michael did the mixing of the adhesive:<\/p>\n
Since we were working on the kitchen, we had to get “fast” food. For lunch we went to Burgerville. It’s really cool that they post the calories on their receipts:<\/p>\n<\/a>He spread the adhesive on the sub-flooring (it’s the picture above that looks like sheet rock on the floor) and I laid the tiles and made sure they lined up and the spacers fit, etc. It was a lot of stretching, standing, bending, twisting….OUCH!<\/p>\n<\/a>After all the tiles are glued in, we’ll do the grout and sealant. Then we’ll have a real floor!!!! YIPPEE!!!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Very cool! Although my complaint is that they should probably post the calories somewhere in the restaurant BEFORE people order….I usually base my order on calories. I got the Classic Burger without cheese and it was about 500 calories.<\/p>\n<\/a>After lunch we headed back to the house and continued the flooring.\u00a0 When we stopped working late Saturday night, I picked up a deLite Pizza from Papa Murphy’s and cooked that for a quick dinner.<\/p>\n<\/a>And we toasted our hard work with a little drink:<\/p>\n<\/a>I took a hot bath with Lavender Epsom Salts before bed. It was lovely!<\/p>\n<\/a>This morning I made pancakes! I’ve never successfully made pancakes in the past….either they were too burned or raw! Bummer. But this morning was a success!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>I also made some tea–my favorite, Jasmine Pearl tea.<\/p>\n
