We Demand a Shrubbery

Well, I think we're officially on Day 2! Veda called me yesterday morning and said, "Well, there's a tractor in the back yard." Perhaps a backhoe ... I didn't see it. What I did see when I got home yesterday was the absence of bushes! (No pun intended.)

Work continues on figuring out the front porch issue, but we're getting to an answer there. It's a minor glitch that will work out. This is why you find great people to work with ... they work WITH you. Did I tell you we had great people? They are OUR people. Call them up and use them if you can.

We bought the tile we were looking at for a while now ... and it had been further discounted at Home Depot Clearance Outlet! Gotta love a sale at a clearance outlet! It cemented our decision on the tile, and it's very nice. For you tile oficionados ... PEI rating of V. It's Brazilian tile, so the grading doesn't match ANSI standards, but it's First Quality and classified as LD, which is for commercial uses (heavy traffic) and all residential applications. It's about 1/3" thick (8.5mm) and we got it for a steal at 60¢/sq. ft. They were so heavy, we could only buy half of the amount we needed. Veda went back to buy the other 14 cases today so we could have tiles from the same batch for coloring.
