It can be felt in the air! Yes that's right Spring is coming. Along with a hard hitting Spring we appear to be moving with leaps and bounds.
I finally finished the mudding and taping after quite a few hair raising moments where I was sure the whole f**king wall had to come down to fix a crack 3 inches long. The depths of my drywall insanity were becoming perilous to say the least. So with the primer up and a couple of deep breathing exercises it was time to get on to flooring.
The tile we picked out for the kitchen is really random and super interesting but I suck at picking colours at the best of times and Jeremy just refuses to do it, So I decided to wait until I could see the floor before committing eggshell finish related suicide.
Drywall and Primer Done
We have tackled some new projects over the last few weeks. Things like installing a heated tile floor in the kitchen. It was relatively simple to do. It wasn't an easy decision as the heating systems can be quite expensive but we caught a sale one day, and pulled the trigger. Everyone who has heated tile said we would regret it if we didn't do it. I believed them. The only part of the process that really held us up was a tiny little step in the directions which stated that we needed to use a hot glue gun to place the sensors down... Well... Do you know where your glue gun is? We didn't either and apparently neither did half the bloody town. I called and messaged everyone I kinda sorta knew and finally was able to locate an ex-co-workers mother who is super crafty and not only knew where her glue gun was but actually had glue for said gun, whew. So about 30 seconds of hot gluing and we were ready to lay some tile. Note: Wet saws and -15C are not a great mix.
We had a nice day in February (well not as cold or windy as most at least) and Jeremy tackled the installation of the new front door. Shockingly everything went as planned and the door looks great.
After a lot of elbow grease we got the tile all done and I finally picked a colour for the walls, Scroll Beige... Sounds boring... Looks boring. But, throw some white cabnets and all the other frilly stuff in there and I'm sure it will be a great back drop.
Walls and Floors Complete
More Floor... I really love the floor :)
I finally feel like we are making headway. We are in a place where every hour spent in the house is manifested into a visual difference. So it's easy to find the effort within to push just a little harder or longer.
Some of the cabinets
I suppose my good mood may be encouraged by the looming of Spring. Time to bust out the gum boots, spring coats, and bikes.
