We've had a lot going on so I've been remiss in posting. Herbie's been working on the floor. He did a lot of reading about tiling even though he's done it multiple times and became convinced that he needed to put thin-set under the hardy backer. (Yes, David Murray, we are doing hardy backer because it made Herbie feel more secure). After much debate with others he was convinced that the thin-set was not necessary. So hardy-backer and 950 screws later, we have the laying of the floor.
Here we see the ever helpful Sunny surpervising the process.
The original plan for me to take the dogs to the resort while Herbie laid the radiant flooring didn't happen. We ran out of time. We are headed for a week in Florida tomorrow and we just didn't have time to get it all worked in. Herbie spent this week once the hardy-backer was laid to do the door trim.
He got most of it done. When we get back from vacation, he will finish the floor. We'll attempt to do it with the dogs here and trying to block off parts of the kitchen. We'll see how it works.
On a personal note: I took a tumble Sunday night just before bed and ended up in the emergency room. I got 2 staples and have a huge bruise on the back of my head. Got the staples removed today. Headed for our time share in Floriday in the mornning. Sister Linda Bullard is here to dog/house sit for us. I'm sure the sun will help me heal and help Herbie recoup for the final kitchen effort.
