remodeling update


We checked some alternate 16" X 16" floor tile, and it was a fraction of an inch TOO LARGE, and still of a notably different color shade. Good grief, don't they have any STANDARDS in the tile industry???? There would be no internet if it weren't for standards!! So our clever plan is to pull up some existing tile and lay things out so it looks like we planned a varying color. I rushed down to Lowe's and ordered 5 more boxes of tile.

I lined up an electrical contractor for the telephone work, and they were coming by on 9/7 to make a bid on that and a new electrical panel. However, our project contractor is incapacitated due to a bad back (out two days now), and when the electrician called to say he was coming to the house, nobody was there, I was without a vehicle because it was getting a new trailer hitch installed, and Linda was at work with client appointments. So we missed the electrician appointment.

My old pappy once said that you should never remodel--only rebuild. I never knew quite what that meant until now.
