If it didn't move and wasn't made of fabric it has had a coat of paint put on it in the past month! The only room not to be touched was my sewing room. I boxed up Dennis' music and electonic gear and shoved them into there until I could sell them.

I want to tackle some outside projects when the weather permit. I have a small repair of the sidewalk to do...a sack of quickcrete and some elbow grease should fix it. Just frame in the area, mix water with the quickcrete and spread it out and let it dry. I know it has to be above 40 degrees for the concrete to set up correctly. The small entry way must be painted, I have the paint for that already left over from another project. It shouldn't take more than a quart.

Most of the big ones I need done won't get done due to the cost. New carpet and vinyl were on our to do list this year.

Told the 'kid' he needed to clean the gutters and coat the trailer roof this spring. He didn't seem to enthused with those projects.

He will have to do them regardless.

Good luck on grouting your tile, the cake decorating bag should work rather well for the small area that you are doing. Be sure to force the grout into the cracks so that it can bond up to the tile, if you do not have a grout float a rubber spatula should work. After you get your grout in you can clean up with a damp towel or sponge, wipe the length of the tile flip sponge/towel over wipe again then rinse. Should be able to get the tile clean in two or three passes.

BTW you will have a Freepmail shortly
