Sigh of Relief

Well, it was 11:30pm before we declared it done, but yesterday was good day. The floor is now completely grouted (except a few touch-up spots), the kitchen counter is on, the sink is installed, and the sink drain is re-plumbed and working great! Josh Gerber came over and spent about 5 1/2 hours installing and re-plumbing our kitchen sink. He's been a HUGE help during our remodeling phase. I can't thank him enough.
















Out of all the remodeling projects we've done on this house, the grouting was definitely the toughest job. It took WAY longer than what I expected and required much more physical effort. Now that it's done, I'm pleased with the results.

I still have to paint and install the shoe molding around the edge of the floor and put on interior door hardware before I can declare myself "done", but it's nice to finally be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Yesterday was my wife's 21st birthday, so I took the day off work to spend some time with her, and try to get our house in order. I finished mowing the lawn for her and then we went to brunch at Cracker Barrel. Then we went to Wielands to look at push-mowers. I was kind of caught of guard by how expensive push mowers are. Apparently non-self-propelled mowers are more expensive than self-propelled units. Weird huh? They said it was because they didn't sell very many non-self-propelled, so they can't sell them as cheap. *shrugs*
