Rock and Roll

January 18, 2008 / by angied

Well, everything is almost finished in the saga of the floors. Thank goodness. After the carpenters finished all of the wooden floors. They began on my bathroom. I am having tile put in there, but I didn't realize that it would be such an ordeal! After I had spent many hours cleaning the bedroom walls and floors, dusting the pictures, furniture and pretties, and putting all my lovelies back. The carpenters took out the stool in the bathroom and sat it in my spare bedroom doorway. Then the bathroom room was taken down and put on the floor of another bedroom. Oh my, I feel the compulsive behavior returning in full force. What happened to some of the order that I had returned to my life? Putting this tile down has continued into its third day! First day, the tile had to be cut then glued. Twenty-four hours had to go by before the grout could be put in. Another twenty-four hours and possibly the stool will be back where it belongs. Only today will tell whether or not things will get done.

Boo finds the hole in the bathroom floor very interesting. He sits in there with his head hanging over it. I don't suppose that it hurts anything. Twenty pounds of Boo could no way get down into the hole. We were supposed to stay off the floor until the twenty-four hours were complete, but to no avail would Boo leave his watch over the drain. Larry finally went to the doorway and snapped his belt, and Boo scurried from the room. Boo continues to be my watch cat. He follows carpenters around with his tail held high and fluffed. I guess he has been checking out their expertise!

I have all of the curtains washed and cleaned except for the ones in the bathroom. All of the walls have been cleaned along with the ceiling fans. Although I had finished the living room and dining room, they are now cluttered with items from the bathroom closet. Well, that will be a job for another day. I spent five hours cleaning the great room and the huge closet. I am very content in this room, for it maintains its order except for the grass that the carpenters track in from going in and out. Today may be the last day for my tribulations of the remodeling.

A friend of mine is coming to spend the day today. She thinks that she is going to be helping me; however, I have a surprise in store for her. I am taking her out to eat and do a little shopping. She is a wonderful friend and deserves to be pampered a little bit. Her family is not very appreciative of her, but I am and I want to do something for her today.
As one of my blog buddies said, I am going to shake my booty today and rock and roll somewhere besides my home.

Have a wonderful Friday, ya-all!

  • dragonflyby said 7 months ago
    I am worn out from reading how busy you have been! Word of warning: Once the grout is finished, control your compulsion to mop the grit and dust off the floor for the full duration of the cure. Otherwise, you weaken the grout. Did that once after being sick to death of days dust and disorder.[SMILE][HEART]
  • angied said 7 months ago
    Thanks for the heads up. I will try to control myself[BLUSH] I was able to soak in my tub last night for the first time in days![LOL] I was proud of myself; I tippy toed over the grit, ignoring it completely. Larry had already warned about obsessing--I'll wait several days before cleaning the floor.[HEART]

    [SMILE] Just think Nancy,come spring,all your "spring cleaning" will be done..That's a good thing.[THUMBUP]Have a fun day off.[HEART]
  • angied said 7 months ago
    In the spring, I think that I will tackle something easy--like digging a swimming pool with a shovel! All kidding aside, I love the work that was done. The carpenters certainly did a wonderful job. Now I need to touch up the paint in all the room. I finished three late last night. At least four more to go![ROLLEYES]
  • ladyspain said 7 months ago
    Okay, when you're done with your floor, come do mine. I have it scheduled for March. Tile! Lots of work[THUMBUP]
  • angied said 7 months ago
    [OHMY]You poor, poor lady! At least the workment cut the tile outside so that the dust was not as bad as the sawdust from the wood. Tile is beautiful--that in my bathroom must weigh a ton. I picked up a box of leftovers and was surprised at the weight. I wish you a stress-free home improvement project--yeah-right![LOL][SMILE][HEART]
  • elfie33 said 7 months ago
    Wow you need to come to my house I could use your help cleaning...[LOL][LOL][LOL][HEART]
  • angied said 7 months ago
    Surely you jest![OHMY][OHMY] No, I would be more than happy to help you! Can we wait until the weather breaks??? It is cold here this morning![SAD][HEART]
  • donnamg said 7 months ago
    You're doing a good thing for your friend, but it's a great break for you to get out of the house, too! You need to let loose, let yourself be free! You've done exhausting your energy around the house, now go exhaust it having fun! [THUMBUP][THUMBUP][THUMBUP] Now, do what dragonflyby says, DON'T clean up that grit and dust! I know it's going to drive you crazy, but leave it alone! [SMILE][HEART]
  • angied said 7 months ago
    I couldn't help myself--Compulsive, you know. After a really great day with my friend, I came and tackled the grit! Workmen are finished; my home is in order; I'm a happy rocker![LOL]
  • martne said 7 months ago
    [TONGUE] Well, now it's evening time, and I hope you enjoyed a rockin' fun time today with your friend! Best idea for a good time considering all the home improvements and cleaning! Soon it will be over, the workmen will be gone, and may you be delighted with your pretty home.
