We are still working slowly on our kitchen. We now have blinds, a window sill, and some back splash ideas. Just got to get working. Our puppy found a way to climb her gate and escape, so we got one of those pre-made sections of tall wood fencing and foiled her little plot! Someday it will be made into an actual gate… we hope.

We finally got to grout our kitchen floor this weekend. We are getting very close to having that room DONE. We are still looking for a doggie sitter for our puppy over Thanksgiving – any takers? She’s reaalllllyyyy cute…

We got to finally get some more work done on our house – the kitchen floor! We had to remove a couple of layers first – 2 layers of linoleum, 1 layer of fiber-wood, and 1 layer of tile – to get to the sub floor. The tile was this really old tile that look like an orange topographic map. Today we will start laying down some tile. We also installed an electric doggie fence that is doing a great job keep our puppy from escaping!

We had three escape attempts by our dog this week. But it’s easy to find out where she gets out – I just stand on the other side of the fence, and call her, She heads to the escape point and crawls through – but she still hasn’t caught on that 5 minutes after she does that, her hole is boarded up….

I guess improvements are slow around the our house this weekend. Our dog has developed a bad habit of chewing on and pulling out phone lines. So I keep fixing it, and she keeps finding a way to destroy it. She also found a hole in our back fence and squeezed through. Puppies….
