Day 18 Recap

Today they had to finish setting the tile for the back splash but Davey started grouting what was done yesterday.....so I was able to see it finished



Here is a view of it before it was grouted so you can see the colors.
Even Molly was allowed in the room today!
Davey is putting in the last piece....we call this Davey's corner as he did the whole thing!
My dishwasher is installed.....so now I have a place to hide the dirty dishes instead of having to wash them!!!
I took a couple close-ups but the tile still has a little haze on it from the grout....it will get a final cleaning tomorrow.

Last thing they decided to put up the light in the dining area....it did not go well!!  Here's Molly with her "what is taking so long" attitude!!!!
Yes we have light!

This part of the kitchen will be done tomorrow.....I will have power!!  We are still waiting for the extra molding & skin for the pantry cupboard........so who knows about the other part.
Jim actually grouted 4 tiles today after he did under the dishwasher....at this rate my floor may be done by Easter!

PS.  Don't tell him I said that because I promised not to rush him!!!!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Happy "13th" Birthday Liza

Today is Liza's 13th birthday(that is 91 in people years). We are just amazed that she not only is still with us, after being told 18 months ago she wouldn't live 6 months but that weather permitting she still walks 2 miles every morning & another 2 in the afternoon! Check out the slide show.......her friend Lucy came over tonight & they each had a donut w/frosting & sprinkles along with ice cream. It was just too funny as neither one of them can see worth a damn but they knew they were getting something good! Lucy had hers gone in 2 bites but Liza went for the ice cream first & then took her time licking off the frosting!

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

 Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom.  Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week.  We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart.  As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!!  It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked.  Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater.  I don't want to be doing this again for a while!  While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday.  All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...
