What I thought would be a very
relaxing day...turned into a very busy one instead. Just the other day Tyson
and I were talking about what we still needed to get done on the basement
before we move in, and when we mentioned laying tile my sweet Uncle Lane and
his son Derek volunteered to show us how it's done. And I'm so glad they did
because the area we they were able to knock out in one day would have most
likely taken us a few days if not a week to finish on our own.
The fist step was to lay it all
out and pick what design we wanted. Which turned out to be very hard for me
because I'm so OCD and can't be decisive ha!
Even Aunt Shirley came to supervise
Send step was cutting the tile,
which Tyson has many battle wounds to prove he did it. Third step was actually
laying tile which doesn't sound that hard, but if you look at Tyson's body
language he might beg to differ.
Before and After
and the final result with the carpet :) I just LOVE it!
Last week We also had help from
Shauni and Ethan with painting baseboards, casings, and doors. My dad hung all
of the doors and my Grandpa Oliphant is helping us nail in all the casings and
baseboards to finish it off. With all this help we'll be ready for the carpet,
and maybe even have time to spare! They're a little odd, but good painters so
we'll keep them ;)
Tyson is smiling because we can
finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!
I've learned through this whole
moving/renovating ordeal that we have such great, hard working, selfless family
members!
And I couldn't even begin to name
all of the other family members who have helped in many countless ways with our
quick move, basement renovations, and now housing us homeless bums. Ha! We are
definitely blessed!
