Pretty tile flooring Rene!

Sorry your arm is sore, hopefully it's better soon.

Thank you Debby! We have 22 done & only 98 to go...I'm pooped! Lol
My arm is feeling better, the work loosened it up...thank you!

It was great fun. You have her confused now.

Good luck teaching her. Good luck.

She'll learn, if she wants too, but it's okay if she doesn't, she's a smart cookie!

My husband brought in eggs last night, a good number of the girls are still not laying their eggs in the nesting boxes. They like to lay in the corner of the coop to the right of the door. The flock was already roosting for the night, hubs said as he leaned down to get the eggs one of the chickens pecked him on the top of his head...he told me, I don't know who the guilty party was, so I couldn't wring anybody's neck......he was just joking!

I need to share something that my husband came up with to make one of my parts in our tiling job easier. I'm so glad he did this, because I was exhausted yesterday and without this I'm sure I wouldn't be able to work as long as I have. My job is to back butter the tiles. In the past I've held the tile in one hand and applied the skim coat of mortar to the bottom of each tile using a trowel with the other. The tiles we're putting down are 18"x18" and get quite heavy. So he Jeri rigged a sort of movable table with a Lazy Susan that we bought when we spray painted our laundry cabinets. I can set the tile on top and apply the skim coat. This has helped me so much! He truly has the hardest job, down on his knees setting the tiles. We are looking forward to our upcoming vacation!
