Baby Steps...

There is a flu epidemic in Tally - I was the first to be flattened by the beast... I couldn’t work, shoot I could barely walk from my bed to the couch for 4 days all while toting a 102 fever. It's been 2 weeks and I am finally feeling like I am back in the world of the living - Baby Steps. My dad, mom, daughter, ex-husband and several co-workers have all been stricken with it as well. I have been working on my own at my house for the past week, trying to stay away from those sick folks and not having my dad well enough to work. I've gotten a lot done though - or at least it feels like it. After recessing the nails in the door trim, I puttied, sanded and painted those as well as painting the doors. The stair treads are completely installed and after recessing those nails, they have been puttied - sanding will happen this week (sometime) and polyeurothane will be applied. I cleaned up the house in preparation of the next big job. I hired a tile guy to tile the walls in my master bath and my stand up shower (which is tiled all over - roof too) he did that yesterday and let me tell you - it looks FANTASTIC! Ok, so it doesnt seem like I've done a lot, but we're really starting to narrow it down - Baby Steps. Sometime this week, I go buy a shitload of stuff to finish the bathrooms (sinks, sink cabinets, drain and connection fittings, etc.), I'll order my tile to do my window sills and then I have (2) more doors to install as well as baseboards but it's coming along - Baby Steps........
