Me KNEES!!!

I am so ready to be done with tile. I really enjoy doing it, but it takes quite a toll on my body, mostly my knees, and my back, and my ankles, and my shoulders hurt too... All of the floor, except the crawl space door and the pantry, is laid now and the bathroom is grouted. I still need to do the surround in the bath tub and the wall behind the fire place. O, and all of the base board. I am not looking forward to that either. I would have just used trim, but they had the linoleum rolled up the wall so high that the trim we have in the rest of the house wont cover. Katie has been painting away. Mindy came over last night and helped out. It is nice for her to come over and help. Even if she wasn't painting, I think it is nice for Katie to have someone to talk to. When I am in work mode I am not very social...

We spent a lot of money yesterday. We paid for our carpet, which is about 500 over budget. But that is only because we didn't know how big the house was. I think it will be worth it to have new carpet in. By then way, we are going on three weeks with no mice and you cant smell any trace of cat pee in the house. We are pretty happy about that.
