Oh how do I hate hardibacker board - the number of screws per board is just killer on drill bits, hands, wristis, shoulders etc. *snort* The first remodel we did - years ago, I was a complete wimp - drove in 3 screws poorly and batted my eyelashes at my love and said there was no way I could do such a good job as he. He finished the whole floor. This time - with the help of my new favorite power tool - impact driver- I did like 4 whole sheets. Woohoo. But now I have a largish blister on my index finger from the whole shebang.
Thank you dear neigbhor for watching my children so that I could be partner in crime for getting dusty, grouchy and sore while getting a floor ready to tile. Thank you dear neighbor who is married to a finish carpenter who willingly lends us his pneumatic nailer. We only had like 200 nails left over from the remodel in the other part of the house...but hey it was 200 fastners we didn't have to man handle into the backer board, osb, and joists.
And why doesn't Starbucks deliver? Can't they deliver spirits too?
Tomorrow we conquer the tile installation. How many movies will my children agree to sit through before they fights start? :P
The weather should be nice tomorrow to let the doors/windows open. But it is supposed to spike to 107 for Tuesday. Don't know about you , but I'm planning to sit near the AC, with my feet up, a cold beverage and a large supply of Otter Pops. Please honey, lets not plan anything overly taxing for that day.....please? And please old as me AC, please continue to do your job well, we love you, and have no plans to replace you, so please, please weather this heat wave as you have all the ones in the past...with great coolness.
