Tiles

Man and Machine

 This past weekend, we got almost the rest of the drywall up in the kitchen and living room. Just a few more pieces in the kitchen area. Realizing unless we wanted to extend the stay of our dumpster for extra money, we had to be finished with it by Monday. Instead of wrapping up the drywall on Sunday, we took on the dreadful task of removing about 550 sq ft of ceramic tile. The tile was a bit uneven in places, so putting down a new floor over the top wasn't an option. We rented a power hammer for the day from Home Depot. It made the chore a whole lot easier than doing it with hammers and chisels, but it still was a long, dusty, tiresome task. Zachary ran the power hammer and I was on clean up duty as he moved along. It took about 6 hours

After the dust had cleared, we were real happy with the results. Makes a nice level base for the new flooring. Which we are still deciding what to pick...

We added pendant lights to the living room.

New blossom of the day. A lily of some sort, blossoming around the yard right now.
