Wow, that sounds so...unfun. Sorry. But I'm sure it will be worth it in the end.

The end has come. And it was worth it. But my ass is killing me!!!

Had a little trouble with the two thresholds at the end. I went out today and bought a masonry bit for my drill. It is supposed to drill thru concrete in order to anchor the metal tracks for the T- thresholds. Yeah right. So... I had to mix up a very small batch of tile mortar and I anchored the tracks that way. We popped in the thresholds and have them weighted down overnight for the mortar to harden. It looks amazing!!

I'm going to get up tomorrow at 9:00, so I can tile the place in the kitchen in front of the sink, and we will be finished with the projects for this weekend. I am so freaking tired, but happy. :-)

Melissa Etheridge rocks! She's in my car CD player right now.

Glad to hear you're done.

I love her! She has a new greatest hits album out right now that I need to buy.

it placated me somewhat since I didn't get to watch the documentary on the Crusades that I wanted to watch on the History Channel last night. We had disconnected all the electronics to move the giant armoire so that we could put down the floor. Bummer.

I'm glad to hear that you have finished the floor! AND you still have all your fingers (at least I hope so).
