Progress!!!

That would be a bookcase. It is blocking the hallway that leads to our rooms. On sat, Nate put the tile down. It has to cure or whatever for 3 days before you can walk on it. So we have to go around and through the office to get to our rooms but we don't trust the kids (actually Nate) to remember to stay off it.
To get down stairs where the temperary kitchen is we have to go through the back sliding doors, into the garage and back into the house and down the stairs.

I got to cut a bunch of the tiles. Of coarse we chose a cold windy day to do the tile though. It's a saw that has to constantly have water running on the blade while it's cutting and my fingers felt like they were going to fall off!!! It was SOOO cold. I hate cold. After a while-esp. once it was getting later and colder-I allowed my bro-in-law Mike do all the cutting. He was even out there bare foot and no coat!!! He says he was not cold so it was def. his turn if he is not bothered by the freezing cold.

The day defore we painted the walls. The kids helped-even Press.!! They missed spots and had huge drips and such but had so much fun. Daddy even ended up the color off the wall. (sorry the pic is blurry-I'm not liking my new camera)

So now we have to do the grout and wait for that to set. Luckily that is not as long. Hopefully monday the bookshelf will be moved and we can have a little bit of normality back. It's really annoying going in and out and back in the house to get anywhere. It was cured enough mon. night but the way things move around here...
