The WI Tiling Project

It's not as exciting or funny as I thought it might be, but here it is. We all trekked to N. Hudson last weekend to help our pal complete her tiling project. It started out as a small project, like they do, but it snowballed. She ended up pulling out her bottom cabinets, appliances - everything. Yikes! We rolled up our sleeves and dug right in. Here is a before photo. Some shots of the hard-working crew and what the kids were doing while we worked. At the end of the day, we had a beautiful finished product (that's the worker's loverly wife holding some ibuprofen for his sore knees) and a really happy friend. Then we got down to what we really drove all the way over there for. And what became of the hardwood flooring that she ripped out? Well, it's currently stacked in my garage waiting to be installed in the basement to replace the gross carpet. Win-win.

I would have thought there would be a beer bottle pyramid after all that work!
