Thanks. I have porcelain tile in my kitchen, but the grout is defective and looks like crap. It's easier to jack-hammer the tiles up than it is to replace the old grout. I tried.
If past performance is any indication, I figure it will take me about a month to finish everything, once I have all the materials in hand. I've already got the cabinets built, the wiring rerouted, and the old backsplash and counter tops removed. I'm waiting on the granite and flooring. I have the ceiling tiles, so I'll probably be taking down the old ceiling tomorrow.

Looking forward to a totally unproductive weekend:
Yeee---haw.
Sandy is the Country fan. This is a Christmas present for her. Something she's always wanted to attend. Two days of Country fun in Baton Rouge, LA. Not exactly in my musical wheelhouse. But I did purchase a hat.
And a family reunion near Nashville this summer. They're gonna turn me into a boot wearin', PBR drinkin' country boy yet!

The +1 has decided she wants a vegetable garden this year.
The spot she has picked out has about a 2 foot grade drop from edge to edge so someone ( gee I wonder who
) will get to build up a retaining wall of some sort to support it.
Thanks goodness that BJ's warehouse sells those 500 count bottles of ibuprofen.

I have no plans except probably the Irvine Cars and Coffee on Saturday. Maybe this would be a good weekend to clean and re-stain my teak table and chairs. Advil and a back brace will be required.

PS. Looking forward to Lainey's gardening thread this year. I need to see an assortment of sunny gardens. Mine are all shade, shade and more shade!

I do seem to have a reputation. I'm doing my best to avoid crippling myself. This weekend happens to be the anniversary of shattering my knee. I had to promise my students I would return next week in one piece.

Why do a see a trip to the ER in your future? Be careful with those do it yourself projects. You and tools, manual and power seem to have issues.
