Well, the exposed aggregate we liked so much in the entry was basically ruined
by the contractor when he was putting in the tile floor. We found this great aqua
colored stone and decided to replace the floor ourselves. How hard could it be, right?
WHAT A MESS!!! I'm sure they gave us the wrong size rocks. These boulders turned out to be way
too large and hurt your feet when you walked on them, so..... Do you have any idea how miserable
it is to chisel away semi-hard cement and 500 lbs. of rocks!
|
Well at least we found a use for all those rocks!
|
We did it! We found some smaller rocks called Salt & Pepper and
tried it again. The new floor's a success and comfortable enough
to walk on. We even mixed some glass marbles in with the stone.
In a week or so we'll apply a clear sealer. Whew!
|
Paul builds us a spiffy new workbench with his new table saw! This is where
we'll be assembling and painting all our signs and plaques from now on.
|
The original stain on the cabinets was looking pretty old and funky so they needed to be
sanded and refinished.
...
Once they're all sanded they'll get a cherry wood stain.
 ......  Why does it always seem like we're lugging around rocks??? Paul ripped out the old redwood deck that was here and I'm laying in the new flagstone patio. The cracks will get filled with Scotch Moss. |
