Finally. Finally, we are getting around to some much needed house renovation. The bathroom upstairs (and the only full bath) is a micro-tiled horror from the 1960's. The blue fixtures are wearing out fast. I would like to find the person who came up with the idea of adding much more grout to the square foot by making the tiles tiny. Then I would throttle him/her. Everyone assures me that grout is much more stable and easy to clean these days but I don't know...
We have arranged to have two different contractors come over early next week to look at the house. Our intention is to cut a very big slab of the roof on the north side and lift it up, thus making a dormer, which will give us more space. The space will be converted to a walk-in closet behind the bedroom that connects to the rear of the expanded bathroom. We have lots of ideas and no experience with this kind of thing--should be interesting.
More about all this next week.
Meanwhile, the garlic bulbs that I planted last Fall are sprouting and working their way through the cover of leaves we put there to protect them from extreme cold. I suppose we could still get a hard frost or two, but I am tempted to remove most of the leaves to give those little green guys a chance to have more sun.
Ray just pulled into the driveway. I can tell without looking because his muffler is losing its...muffle. Time for me to get back to cleaning house!
