Saturday

Work again.

Friday

So Friday I started at Home Depot getting Grout for the Kitchen tile. I choose Natural Grey as a color and I am happy about that. Once again they lie about the ease of mixing this stuff it is not that easy. It took some time and a little more water than was instructed but I got a good mixture and I started to grout. It did not take too long about an hour and I was done with the actual grouting but needed to finish with a damp sponge and finish the joints. After the first pass it looked great. It took a few rinses with the sponge to get off the excess and get the joints to be smooth but it came out great. Two hours later I gave it a finish cleaning and it could not look better. Sunday I am going to put the Fridge back in place and everything but the threshold joint is done. I am happy about how it all came out and we only have minor things left to do. I have to putty the nail holes in the molding and a few of the edges that are not primed and we have to paint the molding which will probably get done next weekend. Its not something that needs to be done right away since it is already primed white but like Katie said its better to do before we get our carpet in. Pictures will follow when I get home from work. It takes time and I cant do them from my laptop.

Thursday

So Thursday morning came I took the time in the AM to measure out all the cut tile pieces I would need to finish tiling and then mark them out on the tile. I then took a trip to the local tool rental shop and rented a tile saw. I rented the saw for four hours and cut all the pieces I needed and then took it back to the store. I came home and started to tile the floor. Mixing the Thinset was a pain it is not as easy as the bag says it is. It shows a hand mixing the thinset with a trowel but that is BS, I could hardly move a trowel in the mix. I had to sack up and dive in with both hands and mix the mixture by hand breaking the clumps with my hands it was hard. It took about 10 minutes and then it was mixed well and ready to use. I started under the Fridge and moved out toward the stove and it went with out a hitch. In the afternoon the cable guy came and we finally got our cable and internet. While he was setting up I took the time to unpack all the books and put them in the bookcase. We were thinking of not doing this and leaving them till the carpet comes in but that could take two weeks so I decided that was not a good idea I did not want to live out of boxes for two weeks so I unpacked them all. After that was all done I waited for Katie to come home and we sampled on of the local Pizza joints and it was great.

Wednesday

Well Wednesday came and I had to go to the Dr. in the AM so I did not end up going to work. I didn't do much on the place other than lay out the tile in the kitchen and some odd tasks. Winding down with all I have to do.

Tuesday

I spent the day doing some of the trim on the space under the bar and putting the handles on the cabinet doors. I also took the time to set up the bedroom and start to set up the living room. I got rid of all of the extra wood and threw out all of the trash and just did small odd jobs that needed to be done around the place.

Monday

Well Monday came and I took another trip to Home Depot to buy molding and start finishing the place. I started doing the molding in the Kitchen and living room and got that finished rather quickly in about two hours. I then moved most of the stuff in the bed room out into the living room and put up the molding in the bedroom. When that was all done I hung the doors on the Kitchen cabinets and then got to painting our bathroom. We chose the color chili Pepper for the bathroom which is very bold and bright. I panted the bathroom and WOW is it bright. It is a small bathroom so the paint really makes it look much more open. Its funny when you turn on the bathroom light it reflects the bold red color into the foyer. I then took some time and put the bed down and started setting up the bedroom. I then took a trip to best buy and bought a new HDTV. We got a Sony Bravia 40" LCD TV and got 10% off from the post office moving package. Took the TV home and opened it up and connected to my Xbox and WOW what a picture. I have been missing out on this.

Sunday

Well today is the big move. Katie and I boxed everything up and rented a Budget truck and we moved all of our stuff to the apartment. It was a long day and we packed allot of stuff into the bed room and I hope I can get most of the stuff done before the end of the week. We spent the night painting the cabinet doors and setting up what little of our stuff we could. We could not put our mattress down or set up our bed so we both slept on the floor exhausted from the day.
