Lessons in Home Remodeling #45,072.

Before you remove the toilet (for the second time) make sure you have enough tiles for the area you want to cover.

Two boxes of tiles are really NOT ENOUGH to cover 32 square feet of plywood flooring no matter which way you try to arrange them.

Reordering more tiles the weekend before a holiday that falls in the middle of the week sucks.

Not enough tile does not equal playing outside. You can either install drywall or rewire the electrical outlets, wheee!

Installing the outlet is apparently a FINISHING task only. Anyone who tries to wire an outlet before the drywall is placed will be ripped a new one, sans explanation, from the militant Bob Villa that lives somewhere in my husband. (Prostate? Colon?)

Remodeling is nothing but fancy rhetoric for buying new shit and beating the living shit out of it to fit the old space.

  • True. However, I think he would rather be out fighting fires in the woods than in the bathroom.
