I got so much help from my friends today that I decided to do a little shouting out while updating the bliz-ogg. Kelly came over to help me with whatever and we decided to use that time to get some good pics of some items I'm selling on craigslist.com (gotta love CL, if you haven't been there, you simply must go), then Bri and Rob arrived with a truckload of the coolest old bricks from the 20th Century. Those are going to go in some very prominent locations around the house. I think they are a little oversized for the patio, but maybe I can work them into the border (?). Bri and Rob were also champions and moved not 1, but 2 items up to the hot, hot upstairs. One bookshelf that Joe D made for me several years ago, which is now in the Media Room (also to be the Guest Room at some point) and the other was the little loveseat which really should have been a simple move but turned out to be a real beast. I'm not sure what happened but I think the thing must be full of 150 pounds of dust and dander because it was never as much of a PITA to move before. Mmm, what a pleasant thought. While they were moving the bookshelf, Kelly and I moved one big white cupboard thing out of the carport and into the basement, which means I'm one big cupboard thing closer to an empty carport (yay!). And then Bri and Rob advised me that the ceramic tiles should work just fine on my kitchen floor (I was worried I had too much bounce in the floor to put down ceramic and was really getting worked up about what I was going to do for flooring). Kelly took some great shots while the rest of us were discussing the floor (by which, I mean, bouncing up and down on it and poking it with a screwdriver to determine how solid and sturdy it is), and right after she took off, Miriam showed up to visit while she's in town from Texas and we went to Baba to meet some of the Small Groupies where we all laughed and talked and had a fantastic time. Sandra, Jen and Rachel, we missed you!
Anyway, thanks to everyone who came over and helped today. I need all the help I can get!

hey erin,
ReplyDeletegreat to see you at Babba yesterday! i think your floor will do great - just add a layer of CONCRETE BOARD (you mortar it down and then but a ton of screws in it) and you can't go wrong. I am sure you already know about that tho...
Erin you are so impressive with all the stuff you do to your house! I'm glad you have good friends to help you out.
