I know that things look like a mess right now, but I have found that these things are like child birth. You forget all of the nausea and pain when you are looking at your new little baby or in your case, bathroom.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to hear how the weekend went.<BR/><BR/>xo<BR/>BrookeVelvet and Linenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07254920453147895763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491954087258246123.post-60974625829333798352009-03-13T11:53:00.000+10:302009-03-13T11:53:00.000+10:30Oooooh my he is tearing everything apart... think ...Oooooh my he is tearing everything apart... think of the end results... chin up!Fifi Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186646442542919342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491954087258246123.post-43370642482753173972009-03-13T07:07:00.000+10:302009-03-13T07:07:00.000+10:30Laughing so hard, almost peed my pants!LOL,Cathlee...Laughing so hard, almost peed my pants!<BR/><BR/>LOL,<BR/>CathleenDESIGN BY CATHLEENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481882150634591396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491954087258246123.post-42500942278646419792009-03-12T16:38:00.000+10:302009-03-12T16:38:00.000+10:30yay! demolition, you know how i love it! he he he....yay! demolition, you know how i love it! he he he.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841273763036409573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491954087258246123.post-12961034483086786372009-03-12T08:35:00.000+10:302009-03-12T08:35:00.000+10:30Funny post!!

I'd have him operate on my bathroom any time.<BR/><BR/>After the unfortunate tile collapse in the ensuite I really don't think you should look at the bathrooms posted on Velvet & Linen today - you'd probably want to cry. But, it does sound like your bathroom will look absolutely beautiful by the time MOTH's finished.

My Beefcake/Mortician on the other hand is more knowledgeable at mortician stuff, mowing lawns and building computers, yet we have done our share or remodeling and after we made it through our dating years and renovating our living room, I decided that we could survive marriage. You are so funny.

This is the best laurel hedge post yet - fits of laughter at my desk at lunch time, which is simply not allowed, after all, i do work in an accounting office!<BR/><BR/>Fabulous recount of the beginning of the bathroom renovations, can't wait for more.....<BR/><BR/>And the debacle with the shower tiles in the ensuite at the end? Priceless - an oscar winning script writer couldn't have done it better!!!<BR/><BR/>(actually, I thought of MOTH on the weekend - I was painting and managed to knock over a tin of paint on my 100% wool sisal carpet which is the love of my life (and so it should be after how much I paid for it...) - thankfully for me Porter's Paints undercoat is thicker than whipped cream so the carpet was spared, but I could only imagine the scene you described some time ago when you had your paint 'incident'. xxBrown Button Tradinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228788337142440618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491954087258246123.post-4310906372613738462009-03-11T12:44:00.000+10:302009-03-11T12:44:00.000+10:30HEE!
