Day 12

 
Today was a long day. We went to rent a concrete saw so hubby could cut a trench in the concrete to run electricity to my new island! We got to the house and I started with removing the light switch covers and outlet covers from upstairs. Got all those taken off. Hubby started cutting a trench in the concrete. OMG! There was concrete dust EVERYWHERE! I came down to the garage to take photos of him in the kitchen and at one point could not even see him because of all the dust! He got the trench done and we went to Lowes.

 We got back to the house and he finished the trench. He put the wiring through conduit and then covered it back up with hydraulic concrete.
 He was going to start on the tile in the the bathroom but the vanity in there was PUT together in there; therefore, we could not tile unless we took the vanity out. So be it! The vanity AND the toilet (thank Goodness the toilet!) went out to the trash. I had tried everything I could to get rid of that vanity and toilet lol, NOW IT HAPPENS! :O) After the junk is out of the way (hehe) hubby starts laying tile in the latrine ..... ummmm .... bathroom. I offered to help cut the tile and for the first time ever, I got to use the tile saw. It was pretty cool…… AT FIRST. It’s like any new toy, the new wears off eventually. Lol

 We got a lot done today (even though it doesn’t sound like it). We worked almost 12 hours today.

 Thursday he is going to have 2 guys helping him so it should go pretty quick then. Everything he has done up to now has been very time consuming. Laying tile takes a while and this was his first time. Digging the trench takes a while also.

 I think tomorrow we will start grouting the tile and the floors in the master bedroom should go down Friday!!! Sooooo excited!

 Here are some photos of my hubby when he was digging the trench. This was at the beginning. There was one point that I could no longer see him because he disappeared into the concrete dust. Lol

 (I think Friday I will use my one hour massage hubby got me for our anniversary!)
