My first tile job
We're putting in a bathroom upstairs, and to save some money, I'm doing a lot of the finish work myself. We had professionals run the pipes, do the electrical work and frame the room, but thanks to our fantastic builder, Ivan, who is patiently teaching me how to do this stuff, I helped with the drywall and installed the shower tiles, which are a lovely glass mosaic.
Here's what it looks like so far:
Ok, I say it's to save money, but really I'm doing finish work myself because I wanted to learn how to do this stuff. I've always thought the one thing keeping us from being the perfect lesbian couple is our lack of power tools.

Every day, I get a little closer to my dream: To spend my life worshiping at the feet of a smart and dynamic older woman who knows how to use power tools.
I never imagined she'd be 5'4", but . . .
Woo hoo power tools!!! I love my fancy tools. My husband says, "what's a Dremel tool?" I had never met a man before who did not like fancy power tools til I married Mister S! He is learning about power washers and the like. I think tools are awesome because they remind me of my Grandfather, who took me to the hardware store all the time when I was a little thing. Tools are great, because they do what you want them to. Tools are the best, but I love my Leatherman even more (and carry it even in a tiny pocketbook next to my lipstick).
Excellent job, Miz Judy... just excellent!
