Home Works #2

Current Notes: Sorry there's no image, but believe me, you don't wanna see our kitchen right now ! 
It wasn't that great before...




Och, my right arm hurts ! Today for fun and exercise, Beloved Hubby ripped up the crappy linoleum flooring in the kitchen, and removed the useless breakfast bar. He plans to tile the floor, which he’s done before, beautifully, and move the fridge to where the bar was. The current curling linoleum came up easily, since it was put on top of some other even uglier linoleum (sigh), but we had to scrape up glue and paper to get to bare concrete for the later tiling. That’s why my arm hurts.


All three of us were down there scraping, had been for a half hour, when MIL and FIL came in to check our progress. MIL asked if Beloved could move the bar to their bedroom (um, they’ve spent the last few days telling me how much space they’ve regained during their ongoing cleanout – why would they even want it ?) – he was happy to say he’d had to dismantle it to remove it. Nothing about their Hugh Jass TV plans, though.

  1. Dang, you guys are industrious! I've only pulled up linoleum once, and it was enough of a pain that I'm fatigued just thinking about it. What kind of tile are you guys thinking of?
