Exactly what M4L said at 4:54. I’m doing this stuff because it’s fun. I’m doing one room at a time. And when I’m done with a room I feel like it’s really mine.
Tiling a bathroom is quick work as long as nothing gets fucked up when you take the old tile off (ie there is a good surface there to put new tile on). Tiling has been totally dumbed down with thinset.
If I can get the new tile down by tomorrow afternoon (totally doable) then I grout on Sunday. Like I said toilet doesn’t go back in before Monday.
I guess I’ll replace the toilet seat while I’m at it. They had a crappy little thin plastic toilet set. I can’t stand those.
I was trying to figure out what I should do to clean up the mess on the brick patio. It is always covered in tree crud in the spring. I was thinking should I buy a power washer or rent one and then it occurred to me to get somebody with a big mother gas one and have him do it. It is a shade more than renting and these things break easily so I figured I would hire somebody. That’s next weekend. It should look good when it is done.
DH, what Lech is doing is NOT repairs – that’s the shit you’re glad not to have to deal with as a renter over an owner. Lech is doing cosmetic stuff to his liking – that’s the shit you want to have to CHOICE to decide to do which comes with being the owner.
Lech, if it’s a short length toilet, go get a new long length one. they’re only like 100’ish
off to the park with the urchins, hoping it doesn’t rain. have a good weekend, everybody!
dibs, my little lamb – Unless you’ve suddenly switched to sheep, it’s muntins, not muttons.
Have fun, Lech. I hope it comes out to your liking.
