Home improvements

My itch to retile the bathroom is getting severe. (For viewers just now tuning in, the one public bathroom in my house has a tub-surround tiled in Mary Kay Pink. No, a little darker: Pepto-Bismol Pink.)

Etiology: Trying to take a weekend day off work results in me being inside my house.
Symptoms: I re-read the tiling book and the bathroom remodel book.
Prognosis: Those books are very effective and I am well on my way to being cured of this outbreak. Removing me from the house would speed recovery.

Replacing tile isn't all that major a problem, I suspect. But I would definitely suggest waiting until you have all your plans finalized, or are prepared to shower elsewhere for awhile. :)

Well, it's probably not major the second time one does it. I'm quite intimidated by the idea.

Fortunately, I won't be at home for a full day until at least mid-March, so I'm safe for a while. :)

Well, good, that will give you time to prepare. And you can probably take a class or something at the local Home Depot, or look for some kind of book. Getting past the fear factor is probably the first big step. :)

And don't think I am belittling your fear. I feel exactly the same way about certain things. I can't do much more than lift the hood of my car and I am just majorly intimidating by the thought of poking around in there. So I don't. But that's not really very supportive, so forget I said anything. ;)

Or you can just tear the stuff out and get used to showering elsewhere. You can even post about the showers, I suppose. It will give a new dimension to the fetishes involved in your journal. I noticed even your pissed off rants revolve around feet these days. ;)

A class at Home Depot would be perfect. I have two books, both of which make it look like I'd better be prepared to take the whole room down to its framing. Those books are GREAT antidotes to the Retiling Itch!

I'll consider posting a long detailed description of washing my feet in the shower. ;-)

I can usually follow things from a book pretty well, but I think a class of some sort would definitely help for a project like this. So you might want to look and see if they offer something like that. Heck, if you ask and sound interested enough, maybe you can even talk them into it. Get some friends together or something and convince them there's a real demand. :)

Oooh, foot porn! We may have just invented some new kind of smut. Isn't the Internet a wonderful thing? ;)

I think it might be a new kind if a goat were involved. ("Specify type of goat.")

Hmm, the Internet is just full of information about cloned sheep, but I see nothing about goats. If we could clone a goat and then you would have sex with it, you could charge money for that!
