Kitchen Aids

Woody spent all weekend tiling the kitchen with some great help from Brad! Here you see the result of their handiwork with a wetsaw in subfreezing weather. They kind of looked like this guy when they came inside:

Thankfully they staved off hypothermia with Woody's good idea of boiling the water they put in the wetsaw. This may sound like a recipe for scalding disaster...but it was so friggin cold that it worked out quite well. Both Kenneth and the UPS guy thought Woody was cooking up a tasty stew for them when they arrived at our house only to find it was a pot of nasty porcelain-clouded sludge. Sounds like my days at the dining hall in college...

Woody and Brad finished tiling all the ways to the dining room:


And I put up a swath of our kitchen/ dining room color so the walls are ready for our cabinets to be set. Woody also primed our kitchen cabinets with a paint sprayer that irritated Maddy even more than the vaccum. Today the cabinets get a coat of slick white paint!

Being that it was too chilly to tan outdoors, I filed my nails, did some spot exfoliation and to alleviate the monotony of my spa routine stripped lots and lots of trim. My strip joint has moved upstairs to a plastic-coated setup reminiscent of "Dexter." Thankfully I don't engage in that fine television character's homicidal tendencies or penchant for pastel shirts...
