Why my hair is STILL gray

And my clothes are still not clean,

and I still have not fixed that zipper in my skirt

And of course, I have not packed yet.

This is the kitchen floor in the house that we are working on next door.

You may remember that saga....you may not.

Anyway, the carpet is coming for the living room on Thursday.

The floor needed laid.

And this is me.

JWS said that I need to show these pics.

Jenn said I would not post them when I was looking this bad.

Did she mean that with love?

We called this floor...

Freestyling.

I had a vision.

The tile was inexpensive.

Bought at one of my favorite shops.

Construction Junction

See those gray roots.

My body is feeling the pain of 4 hours in this contortionist position.

I love to lay tile...just wished I would have figured that out about 20...I mean 30+ years ago.

Like the hairdo?

And yes, I am a slob...that was the point that JWS was making with the pictures to begin with.
To be fair, these ARE my tiling pants and some of that mess is from previous jobs.

We have laid tile in our house,

in Shawnee's house,

in Jenn's house,

in Shelby's house,

in my Mom and Dad's house,

and

because of the condition of my pants and the subsequent mess that I bring to the job,

we will NEVER be allowed to lay tile in Dianna and Travis' house.

Seriously, he about had a stroke when I showed up to strip wallpaper.

My unique leveling technique.

These tiles were not as thick as the others.

A nice Hershey kiss of mortar and they leveled right out.

Unconventional...yes, but it worked.

And speaking of Hershey.
JWS and I are getting a nice long weekend away starting Wednesday.
The state fair convention is in Hershey, Pa.
Plus, I get to reconnect with a friend that I have not seen in many years.
Can't wait!


And as one final note,
John and I started this job together.
What was he thinking?
I drive him crazy on jobs like this.
A few tense words and I "suggested" that maybe he would be more effective doing my laundry.
Could be a long drive to Hershey.
