"A little bit of each... Blood, sweat and tears."
As the summer weather of 2013 took hold, the basement grew warmer and messier. There was no shortage of sweat during some of the heavier work and there were more than a few bumps, cuts and bruises. But somewhere along the way, it dawned on me, "For crying out loud. What if Dave and Ted were pulling my leg! They wouldn't do that, right?... RIGHT?"
Paranoia aside, I was actually progressing well unbeknownst to the two trouble-makers. They had no idea that I had actually embraced their bold suggestion.

Not too exciting, but a part of the project I was not looking forward to and rather pleased how it turned out. |

Carpet trimmed out, tile cut and glued awaiting grout, sealing and molding. |

"One step back for two forward." That's what I kept reminding myself throughout this process. Once done, I was thrilled and certainly glad that I did it. But then I remembered that there was some work to do 'closing' off the former entry. Oyyy.
We'll look at that project in a few days, but tomorrow is a special treat in our 'Friendly Fridays' segment. See you then.
