This Geek

Quite a mouthful

by TG on Apr.04, 2004, under Personal

I almost think that I’ve bitten off more than I can chew when it comes to re-doing our bathroom. I’m just not used to this kind of physical labor, I’m a geek, damnit. The only kind of exercise I get is getting up to get another cup of coffee. I have a monitor tan, for goodness sake. What the hell was I thinking?

It took me three days (with the wife’s help) to destruct the bathroom, ie, ripping tiles off walls, and lifting the floor tiles, etc. Removing the basin & toilet didn’t take too long, thankfully.

It’s now a week later, and I’m still not finished the damn bathroom. Fortunately all the difficult stuff is complete (fitting the toilet & basin, and tiling the back wall), so the rest of it shouldn’t take me too long to complete.

We’ll see, I guess.

    Ya know, maybe you could come over here and do the one in our master bathroom. We need to remove those tiles as well, to repair the leaking shower. So with all this experience your getting, your just the man we need. Your too funny, I have to read this often just to keep up with what your doing, Lord knows I don’t usually find out any other way

    Ha! If I never see another untiled tile, I’ll die a happy um.. man.. boy.. thing.

    ‘Sides, as far as I’m concerned, my tiling skills are seriously lacking, and even after all I’ve done, I could still use some training ;)

    You just don’t wanna know what it looks like, hurk. I mean, heh.

    Oh yeah, and yer hubby only finds out some of this stuff by reading here too, so you’re not alone in that. :-)
