Stupid Tile!!

Monday's are from hell. Especially when they consist of an entire day at work, of tear out. Remodels always bring on the suck, for that reason. Today was day one, of a three day job. We had to tear out existing wood floor, carpet, tile and vinyl. The kicker was that the vinyl was under the tile! We still have about 150 sq/ft of tile to tear out then we have to go back and rip out all the vinyl. Actually in the kitchen there is vinyl on top of vinyl then the tile, and in the entryway there was parquet floor with tile on top of it. Maximum suckitude!

What's even worse is that the new flooring that we're installing, starting hopefully tomorrow, is 1 1/2" wide. That's like the real old houses in MPLS and StP have. It goes together real easy but your moving across the floor at an 1 1/2" per row. Typically we do 2 1/4" or 3 1/4", and if we're lucky, we get 4" or 5". That goes really fast. But not this time. POOP!! Oh well, I guess it's work, and a paycheck.

Hopefully I can get moving on our new tables for the living room, this week, as well. I'm building a new coffee table, two end tables and a side table. I've got all the tops put together, and now I've got to get going on the legs and spindles. I'm building them Mission Style, and they'll be made out of rustic Alder. They should look fricken awesome when I'm done, I just have to get on the ball. I'm kind of at the mercy of Todd, though, since I'm building them at the shop. So, hopefully it will work out where I'll be able to get down there while he's still there.

Anyhoo. Read Mel's blog for more about the weekend. It sure is nice to not have anything going on. We've got one thing on the calender for the next two months. Finally!

Peace out, suckas!
