Tiling

It is finally done my friends. Many of you dont know that when my husband and I bought this house we were given a budet so we could fix it up. The house it great, but the bathrooms are tiny and gross. So we decided to redo the hall bathroom. To save money we decided to do it all ourselves and seeing as my husband is a super handy man and home depot has a lot of how to videos we figured we were smart enough to do this on our own... and we were ;) Unfortunately this has taken much more time than either one of us wanted it to. You see we started ripping it out like the day after we moved in so we have been in a 1 bathroom house for the whole time we have lived here so for about 2 1/2 months or so. Unfortunately that means when family comes to visit which is very often by the way they have to walk through our bedroom to the bathroom which is so small you have to leave to change your mind. Anyway we started tiling and Jonathan was doing great. The problem is it was very discouraging so I kept encouraging Jonathan to get more and more work done and he got more and more discouraged. FInally after about 3/4 of the bathroom was done I offered to help...oops. Anyway we found the project was much easier when done in pairs so it didn't feel like anyone got banished to the bathroom. Today though I decided we were going to finish it so wen family comes up in like a week it would be done, or at least functional. Betsy came over and helped (because Jonathan had to work and Betsy is just a saint anyway) and we started around noon and we just finished with clean up and all at 9 pm. I am so grateful Little Jon took a very long nap today. I am so glad it is done, we got to the point where we were like does this fit? There is a little gap, oh well just put the darn thing in. I am happy with how it looks and that is all that matters. I am so proud of Betsy and I and I am also very exhausted. To get the full effect I will wait to post pictures until all the fixtures are in as well.
