Day 13

  

Today hubby gets up very early and goes to Fort Payne to pick up the rest of the cabinets; We now have ALL the kitchen cabinets and flooring from Fort Payne. I get to the house about 9:30 with breakfast. (I had to go to Burger King for the Croissants and McDonalds for the hashbrowns). YUMMY! We eat breakfast and he starts digging out the excess grout from the tile and I go to Lowes for sheetrock (to extend the closet in our room), nails, screws and some other items; also had to go to WalMart for cleaning supplies.

 When I get back to the house, I go upstairs and start cleaning the upstairs bedroom. The vanity (the one I thought was white) turned out to be not so white. I cleaned it with some all-purpose bleach spray and bleach water. To let you have a little clue of how nasty it was, there were whiskers in the drawers! WHISKERS!!! Not in the sink….. IN THE DRAWERS! Lol And there were some yellowish drippings from the top back to the lower back of the vanity. EW! Don’t even wanna know folks! I don’t even wanna know! (No telling what ANYTHING in that house is after finding a BONG in the attick!) I mean, never mind smoking marijuana is illegal, but to do it in the attic! Lol Oh well …. Moving right along...... I had gotten a new toilet seat but it was the wrong size so I just keep the seat off of it and clean it. If I thought the vanity was awful, that’s only because I had not really looked at the toilet. But, it looks brand new now. I fill the tub up with bleach water and let it sit a while before scrubbing it. In the meantime, hubby is downstairs still cleaning the grout line in the tile. It was very time-consuming.

 After I clean the bathroom, hubby starts grouting the tile and I go behind him with a sponge wiping it up. We were both on our knees for most of the day. It was a pain in the ass! Let me tell you! We (when I say “we”, I mean HE), misplaced the sponge, so I was then using a 5” by 3” sponge trying to get this crap off the floor! Lol Hubby calls mother – n- law to the rescue. (You know her, the great lady who cooks dinner for us every night and has coffee ready!!!) She saves the day once again. She brings us THREE huge sponges and TWO extra buckets! This lady does NOTHING half-assed! She is the awesomest! I see where the hubby gets it from J

 Anyways, hubby was planning on extending the closet out tonight also for when the guys come tomorrow to tape and mud the sheetrock. He forgot the saw! I run to mother –n- laws to get the saw and some dinner and he finishes the tile.

 When I get back, we realize that I forgot the nails at Lowes. We eat dinner and decide to just extend the closet tomorrow since we have had two very long days in a row and by this time we were both ready to go home.

 We clean up and leave the house for the day. Below are photos of the finished tile (that has to set for 30 days before sealing it), a photo of my cabinet (raw and have to be sanded, stained and sealed), photos of my clean bathroom )love the double sink and mirrors) and a photo of my hands after sponging the floors all day. Tomorrow and the weekend should go pretty smooth since we have the most time consuming things out of the way now.
