Remodeling is not my first love!

file-dec-05-10-53-22-amI have family coming for the Christmas, and my bathroom and bedroom are still under construction, so I took last week off to try and get it further along. I have to say I made a dent, but you never get a far as you think you will. There always seems to be more to do. A few things I realized as I was working were that I am not the most detailed person. I am more of a big picture guy. I would rather swing a hammer and do framing than mudding drywall. In doing the detailed work, it requires time and patience. You have to take your time to get it right. I can do that kind of work, and I have many times over this project, but it isn’t my favorite. Trying to cut a circle into tile is ridiculous! First I tried a drill bit that had a center bit and an adjustable arm, fail. Then I tried a bit to drill a starter hole and a jigsaw blade, fail. Finally thanks to Youtube, I saw a video where a guy used a three-inch grinder with a blade, that worked. Luckily we did remember to buy ten percent extra on the tile so I could make mistakes. Another thing I learned is that I am grateful for my desk job, this manual labor stuff is hard on the old body, I am back to work to regain my strength and heal, at least until tonight when I have more to do.
