I’m one of those people who’s always cold and always wearing three pairs of socks, so the thought of warm tile floors has always been.

Look at all that progress!“Well”, we thought, “since they’re here anyway, why not get them to move some of the plumbing and put the toilet and new tub where we’d really like them?”…and “While they’re here, why not move the door?

And cut a hole in the wall and put in a new window?Why not move a whole bunch of electrical too?”.You can see where this is going….

A few weeks into the project, we had made some huge changes in the room and things were really moving along.Then, a couple of things happened: 1) I got baby Jack to start sleeping really well in his crib at nap time, freeing us up just a bit during the day, and 2)Chris realized that he really did want to do more of this project himself so he could be sure that everything is absolutely perfect.

Because it’s Chris.

So we got the contractor to finish up what he was working on, paid him for those few weeks, and then we’ve started working in there ourselves.It keeps them visible and easy to access and they don’t end up as science experiments in the crisper, or taking up the whole bottom shelf.. For the crispers, I just keep large items in there that can’t easily be forgotten: bags of potatoes and bags of milk.

On a side note: Why do we still have milk in bags here?.I have some tea towels that I use to keep under any meat that I fear might get leaky and make a weird mess.

I wash them in super hot water when I’m done with them.I was lazy and didn’t put it under the bacon when I bought it and I ended up having to get some disinfectant stuff to wipe that area down..
