As I was reading my post from Friday, I was thinking..... 'whenever I predict a finish date for something, I should add 2 days for hidden stuff that pops up or things that take longer then planned'

It seems like I spent all Friday and Saturday painting doors and frames for doors. I primed them, I painted them, I repainted them. I inhaled so much paint that when a tiny little spider got himself caught on the door, I left him there as a little hint to other spiders. It's a 'warning do not enter' type of thing. Or primer and paint fumes make you a little crazy. Please don't tell PETA on me.

While I was painting (and mumbling curses) Rob repaired the plumbing from the kitchen sink drain. There was a spot under the house where it was leaking and we found out why. There was a TON of rust in the pipes, mixed with 50 years of bacon grease, goop and scunge. The pipe was not installed with any kind of slope in it so it wound up with standing water which turned to rust, which ate through the pipe and caused a huge gaping hole int he pipe. Rob replaced it with PVC and we have a fully functional drain for the kitchen!!!

When I could paint no more, I put the finihsed cabinets up!!!! The hardware looked great on the cabinets and I only had to drill 2 holes on each cabinet to get the new hardware to fit. All the upper cabinets are up on the wall. The lower cabinets are waiting for me since the kitchen counter is in the living room.

Sunday was actually a fun day. We installed the bathroom and kitchen floors and DAMN, we do good work. The bathroom floor was a very odd shape but it was small so that went off without a hitch. The adhesive was some icky stuff. As soon as you get a little bit on your hands it turns into something out of a cartoon. It sticks to everything and makes long stringy strings form what it's sticking too. At first I paniced becuase (of course) I had it all over me, but after reading the label it came right off with hose water and soap. I was suprised becuaes it was like liquid cement. Ick.

The kitchen floor was a little tricky becuase it was a tight fit but once we got it in the right spot it went by relatively quickly. Both rooms look soo good now. It seems like I have been doing prep work for weeks so it's nice to see the finishing touches go up.
