PREPARING FOR A NEW FLOOR

I spent most of this afternoon preparing my bathroom floor for my brother to apply glazed tiles. The routine was to cut the old carpeting into strips which I then rolled and duct taped, pulling up the padding, tack strips, nails, staples, etc. I felt like I was standing on my head during most of this procedure. I made an effort to rip out the old linoleum but didn't have very effective tools for doing that chore so didn't get that finished. Tomorrow Jerry will come and assess what materials we need and get the job started. The next big chore is removing the toilet and replacing some plywood that is rotten. Next will come an overlay that has to be glued down before the tile application can begin. Sounds like I'll be visiting my mom and friends for bathroom privileges. This is about as exciting as my life gets right now but improvements are nice.
