The Remodeling Journals: Getting Ready for Tile Work

Katie and Matt Blog

Well, the plan is to get some tile work done this weekend. Of course, that can be easier said tan done – we want to tile the floor of the kitchen. Which means we really need to remove about 7 layers of old linoleum and tile before adding our layer (or we could just build a step up into the kitchen).

Our fund raiser went great – everyone had a lot of fun and we didn’t have to stay up as late putting up chairs this year (but they were still re-arranging them the next morning in church, so I wonder if we really did as good a job…)

The Remodeling Journals: Birthday Parties, Weddings, and Churches

Katie and Matt Blog

This week end we did… once again… nothing on our house. It was a weekend of Birthday parties and a wedding. The wedding was at a really cool church that was well designed. Instead of stained glass, it has clear windows that you could see the scenery out of. But all the events were fun. Maybe next weekend we’ll get work done 🙂

The Remodeling Journals: Master Bathroom Plans and The Core

Katie and Matt Blog

We’ve been working on plans for our Master Bedroom – trying to figure out how to put a bathroom in there. There is room if we want to arrange it right – or fill in a window (which we want to avoid). Anybody good at crawling under houses and doing plumbing? We saw “The Core” last night. Being a former Earth Science teacher, I love movies like that. I could have really used that movie when I was teaching – and only one cuss word to edit!

The Remodeling Journals: Back in the Kitchen Finally

Katie and Matt Blog

Well, we actually moved into the kitchen today – half of our stuff was sitting in another room. Actually, there is still stuff sitting in boxes in the back room. I guess we will get to that, soon. We saw “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” yesterday. There’s a woman in that league – makes the name kind of sexist…. Good movie, though.
