laying tile

Otherwise known as "Our lives as Rednecks."
Welcome to our backyard. You're going to love what we've done with the place.
And we've rearranged a bit inside, too. Now we can get food whenever we're hungry...without having to walk all the way into the kitchen.

But don't worry, we're just following the neighborhood trend in home decorating.
Our next-door neighbors have the same idea, and they are refinishing their floors this week too!
There's a toilet on either side of our fence. I'm not sure how I feel about that.


And this is where we used to have a nice pedestal sink.
Unfortunately, here is that sink post-removal.
We bought a new one. It's sitting next to the fridge, in front of our tv cabinet and next to the dinner table.

But
, as of this morning, we are grouting the kitchen. I'm amazed at how fast Kent and his Dad have been working. We should have all the tile done by tomorrow afternoon.
Then we're going to replace the baseboards.
And possibly replace the carpet.
And paint the kitchen.
And add hardware to the cupboards.
And...well, you get the idea.
The fun just never ends here at the Andersen's!

the tile looks great! So sad about your bathroom sink. :(
So how long have your neighbors been living like that? You guys obviously have a reason for having your toilet in the backyard. I loved the redneck commentary . . . . hope everything is put back together soon!

Shannon,
Our neighbors are doing tile right now, too. They started just a few days ago. I just thought it was funny that we're both doing the same thing at the same time!

It will all look nice when it is done. Sorry about the sink. That is great of Dan and Teresa to come help you guys. My parents live within 30 minutes of us and we don't get help like that!
