still working

Well we finally have all the tile laid and are getting ready to grout it in. Hopefully we can get back to normal this weekend in the kitchen. I am so excited to finally get the work started, but it is such a pain when your house is tore up. Especially the kitchen. That's our most used room in the house!! It makes it especially hard to make lunches for 4 kids for school. But we have survived. It is looking good. I'm so glad we switched from laminate to tile. Now only if I don't drop and break all my dishes. I told Rod I guess I'll just get new that way. He wasn't impressed! My new countertops come tomorrow too. So I have to clear off my counters this evening so Rod can get those tore out tonight. This has been a long awaited project.
It all started this summer with our refridgerator leaking from the water line, while we were out of town. We came home to a floor that was all buckled up. After waiting on Insurance to check it out, we finally got the floor repaired. And were still waiting on cabinets to be replaced. Then around November our washer decided to overflow and run all over the kitchen. We had a mess again!! So finally , we have decided laminate was not a good choice for our kitchen. So we are replacing with tile. Hope we like it!! But I do already!!
Poor Tim is feeling sick! He's working hard! I appreciate it Tim!! Probably got germs from our germ infested house. The flu has went through the whole family except for Rod. He's loaded with vitamins and Airborne. hope he doesn't get it.
Hope to have pictures to share !
