Some happenings since my last picture post : )
 |
| At the botanical gardens. We went on a horse-drawn carriage ride with the Tollers : ) They were GORGEOUS horses!! Nice and strong. |
 |
| Weston singing his Christmas concert. |
 |
| The floor between tiling jobs! We had to take all the old ones up because it turns out the floor really was just too bowed. They were coming loose and the grout was cracking. So we re did it after nailing/screwing the floor down more and it's worked! I'm glad we found out BEFORE tiling under the toilet! |
 |
| Awesome snowflake I got a picture of! On the car before going to Kyle and Denielle's in December. |
 |
| I believe this is the Sunday talking to his parents phone call : ) |
 |
| Haha... queen Snowy. She hated that we put that on her head! |
 |
| Before removing the toilet. I had prepared as much of the floor as I could. |
 |
| Then found out it was rotted underneath. So took a few hours to figure out what to do with that. |
 |
| The solution. Got rid of the rotted wood. Put in new wood. And made it slightly more level than it was before : ) |
We finished our bathroom floor yay!!!!! Here are some pictures. Unfortunately the bathroom is hard to take good pictures of. Plus, we didn't get good "before" pictures because the whole demolition process happened so fast. The bottom one is the only one I could find. The floor was loose and part of it was rotted under the toilet and it used to be covered in vinyl tiles that weren't butted up next to each other very well or even straight! (Plus most of them were already part way unstuck),
 |
| So soon afterwards that I hadn't even cleaned up my grouting and sealing tools yet! |
 |
| The tile mortered down under the toilet. I didn't have another whole slate piece left so I used one that would look whole and filled in the gap under the toilet with others of the same width. The yellowish rectangle on it is packing tape residue that I still need to clean off of it. |
 |
| The wax ring. I was trying to determine the correct wax ring to use (they come in different widths/lengths). |
 |
| During drywalling. |
 |
| Before insulating that wall and between many of the other side projects we had to do before drywalling. |
 |
| What it used to look like. It looks deceptively good in this picture. But you can see the stains on the wall. |
Here are some pictures of us "TRYING" to take formal pictures. We weren't too successful at it, but we did get a couple we could use for our adoption profile. : )
These are the pictures we got back from the Nativity Festival. They are ok pictures but they are the only ones he gave us. I'm pretty frustrated because there were some really good ones that I really liked where we were both smiling for real. But like almost everyone else in life, he won't respond to any of my calls or emails either asking if he still has the other ones. So I guess this is what we get.
