We have started making some major moves on the house work front again!  Last week we got the washer/dryer pan installed in the laundry room.  And now Julie and I have started laying tile in one bedroom.

Tile

I (we) move slow since the pain it causes me is incredible.  This took about 45 minutes.   The kneeling and bending kills me though, so we did this then took a 2 hour break to let my back relax.    A friend from church (Jason Fawcett) came over in the after noon and we put in another 45 minutes or so.  With him doing most of the work we were able to get all of the uncut pieces of tile in.

Yesterday we worked on the cut pieces around the edges.   Julie actually laid most of these.  She would measure them out and I’d cut them.  This let me just stay seated at the tile saw while she did most of the rest.  Between stints of being “mommy” to the boys, we got them all laid out before dinner.

This was this morning actually as she was cleaning up getting ready to grout the floor.   Unfortunately this is another activity that I can’t really accomplish well, but doing just this one small bedroom shouldn’t be hard on Julie.  It’s less than 150 sq. feet.

When we finish 2 bedrooms we’ll get the closets in and move the girls over into the new area of the house.   They boys have been there for a while now.

After this we’ll move onto the bathroom then kitchen/living room area.   Things are coming along slowly (and are slowly killing me), but we are making steady progress toward completion on the house work.
