How I spent my Christmas vacation
Anyway, I've really enjoyed having more time to spend with Meredith and the boys this Christmas. We didn't have to travel hundreds of miles to visit family for a change, which meant a lot more time to simply enjoy each other. Of course, this year Little Elvis was much more into the whole Christmas experience.
(bathroom before -- note ugly pink tile board and pink walls)
As the bathroom project was drawing to a close shortly after Christmas, we decided to dive headlong into getting our kitchen floor redone (decided to go with tile to replace several layers of old, ugly linoleum).
With tiling being a task beyond my skill and patience (and the clock running down on my holiday break), we decided to leave this part of our remodeling to the professionals. However, I am good at destroying things so, in order to cut down on the overall cost, I (again with the help of my father-in-law) spent the last week or so pulling up the layers of linoleum (and plyboard underneath).
Anyway, the professionals showed up today and managed to get the tiling done in one day. What do you think?
(kitchen after -- Little Elvis seems more interested in his lollipop)
Now we just need to paint the ugly paneling and cabinets -- is it Spring Break yet?

You did a wonderful job! Way better than Handy Manny or Bob the Builder. Can you build it? Yes, you can!
Good job! A month is pretty short for a home repair of that size! Love the bead board!
Between Merideth's creativity and
your diligent industry you make an awsome team. Nice job!
