It is 8:40pm and FINALLY a load of laundry was able to be completed. Is the laundry room done, oh heck no…. why? Well, let’s just say there was a VERY low spot between the hall door going into the laundry room. We cheated with the 1/2 bath with the backer board, but that was not going to work here (check out the photo with the level). We had to come up with the next best thing – liquid level. The downside, well you have to let it dry before you can tile, so that delayed things. However, after a week of no laundry being done, work clothes were starting to get slim and did I really want Chad to use my towels? Ok, married forever, this should not be a big deal, well… it is! HA! So the washer and dryer are in, but not without 2 tiles “dying” along the way – so if you look close enough, 2 tiles need to come up this week. It’s all good – laundry is getting done. If you notice there are 2 hand weights in one of the pictures too. Trick to note – if it seems you didn’t get enough glue under a tile, hand weights are PERFECT to help setting them overnight.
As you can see – not done, still need the rest of the tile, trim, shelves and cupboard, but we are getting there. The other “thing” we realized was the ‘old’ smell – remember this house sat for almost 2 years, but as Chad took the doors off to sand and paint this week, he realized that the ‘old smell’ was in the wood….well enough said, new doors it is. By end of week, new doors will be installed too.
