The thrill of an early post...

I am writing earlier today. I have several things to do...not necessarily that I'm going to do them...but I'll at least be ready to do them...early. 

We got many things accomplished today. That was great. We hope to go buy floor tile tomorrow. All we need is a check. I'm not paying for this! Lots of times I'll advance the money for a project and submit the receipt on payday. Not this time. I expect the tally will be close to $500.00. I'm nice...but not that nice!!

We cut and sawed and hammered and re-grouted and painted and sealed stuff. Very productive. The room is almost completely painted (just waiting for the second coat of grout in various spots to dry). No doubt that will be done tomorrow. We can also hang some of the stuff back on the walls and it will be an amazing transformation. I've posted a few 'before pix'. I'll take some 'afters', also. This property was built in 1948 as one of the original motor courts on the main stretch to California. I swear most of them still looked like the original rooms when we started remodeling! I am sorry that I never took 'before and afters' of all that we have done. You'd be stunned.

 

Anyway, we are very proud of what we have accomplished. Mostly because neither of us had ever done before, to the extent that we have done here, the remodeling and repair that we have learned from this experience.

Oh yeah...I don't want to do it again.

I think I will pack my bag tonight. I have clean clothes and it's a good time to keep them that way. I hate to rush around at the last minute and I already know what I am taking.

Have you ever rolled dirt off your forehead? I just did. Strange feeling.
know why he feels the need to watch it just because it's on. At least it's on early. God knows what's coming on next. Probably The Magnificent Seven Rides Again....

I just ate a grilled cheese sandwich. It was good. I think I'll eat tomato soup later. It sounds good.

Jennifer just stopped by and told me BFFAL opened her birthday present. We got her a really pretty lavender print over blouse with a black under cami style shirt. She liked it!

I need to get busy. I have a 'list' to get done before I leave. See ya later!!
