Day 14 the 2 guys come in to help hubby with the house. I stay in bed until 9:45. I was so tired. There is a reason they call this MANual labor folks!
So the 2 guys come in and the put the corners on the walls (not sure what the technical term is) and get them mudded. They also got the left side of the closet extended to the wall to make a his and hers closet.
Hubby spent the day pulling up the tile linoleum in the kitchen. For those of you who have never done this before, it is a pain in the butt!!!! He had to use a heatgun to heat each tile before they would even think about coming up. It takes about 1 and ½ minutes to pull up one tile and there were hundreds in there! So that was his job for the majority of the day.
When I got to the house, I brought lunch for hubby and we sat on the tailgate of his truck and ate lunch. (A tailgate party ….. well…….. sort of). Lol It was warmer to sit in the sun and eat than in the house.
Once we got finished up with lunch, I loaded all the chair rail and baseboards into the back of the truck and went to the dump. Hubby tried his best to explain to me how to get there. (Man giving directions to woman is the same as woman giving directions to man ……… it’s like speaking French to an Indian). It took me FOREVER to find this place. (A place my son had no problem finding a few days prior! Obviously, he speaks the same language hubby does. This pissed me off even more lol!)
I get to the dump. Oh what a lovely place! I have done 2 tours of Iraq and I tell you what, I have NEVER smelled ANYTHING as fowl as THE DUMP. And it doesn’t matter how cute you are!!!! You are an equal at THE DUMP. No one is willing to help you unload! (Unlike Lowes where I had THREE little guys helping me at the same time yesterday). J THE DUMP is THE PITS! I will not be volunteering to go back there again.
When I get back to the house, the 2 guy are packing it up and getting ready to leave. They will be laying the hardwood in the master bedroom tomorrow.
Hubby was still digging up the tiled linoleum in the kitchen. I helped him do that. (And by “HELPED, I mean I got up a total of about 20 tiles out of a few hundred). He is such a hard worker! He is the most handy man I have EVER met in my life!
Not sure what is on the agenda for tomorrow besides laying the hardwood flooring. The photos below are the closet (before and after photo) and the kitchen where hubby dug up all the linoleum. I’m sure tomorrow will be another fun filled day full of adventure! J
