So what did you get up to this weekend Kerrio?

That there hubby type is away again, in florida, WORKING:


So taking advantage of the not-underfoot-ness of the hubby type, I decided to get some house chores done.

Starting early, I started to dissassemble the cupboard my Dad so kindly built...


Then, just before wielding the hammer on the broken tile, I climbed up to the loft to check for spare tiles and fetch one down. Phew, we have some,


so on with the hammer:



Having removed "tile A" I found that "tile B" next to it was loose and needed replacing too. Bugger... back to the loft.


Zip down to the tile center for some rapid set cement, then quickly slot in place the new tiles.


OK - three hour drying time.

Time to regrout some dodgy bits of kitchen and bathroom floor,
then sort out:
a) the leaky filter under the sink
b) the flickering light in the hall landing
and
c) the leak in the downstairs loo:


Walk 5 dogs then regrout the two new tiles and quickly bolt the cupboard back together before anyone notices and replace the contents of the cupboard scattered around the kitchen in the cupboard:



TADA!! No-one even needs to know I was there.


Time to feed & pill dogs, pour a glass of wine and put my feet up.

Don't tell Brian ok?

Glad to see you have posted - nearly sent you an email to ask what had happened to you as was thinking of you today.

Well, I can't tell what happened to that cupboard. Did you put it back as it was or lose one section? Looks the same to me. But I DO LOVE ripping things out. so satisfying and quick too.

Wow, it looks like you accomplished a whole lot more this weekend than I did. And glad to see you're back to blogging. :-)

You are a rockstar.

I am waiting until next weekend to cover the dog in upholstery fabric and make him into an ottoman.
