Home improvement
Dec. 29th, 2016 12:57 pmI know how to live it up. So far this staycation I have:
Cleaned the grout on my bathroom floor. Lesson: Never, ever, never put in small octagonal tiles offset with diamond shaped even smaller pieces in white with white grout in a bathroom, OMG. Big tiles = less grout = less of a pain in the ass to clean. Sure looks good for the moment, though.
Restored and polished the hardwood floors downstairs with some "miracle in a bottle" product. While it did make things shinier, I wouldn't say my floors look brand new as the product claims. Lesson: Imma have to actually resurface my floors if I want them to look less beat-up.
Removed 90% of the grout from my shower and regrouted. Lesson: this is something I think might be worth the cost of paying someone to do. We'll see how long my crappy attempt lasts before I have to do just that.
Removed caulk around tub. Will caulk later. Lesson: see grout.
I'd call it good, but when I flushed my toilet last time the flap broke. So, one more project. I haven't the desire to always have to stick my hand in the tank to flush, LOL.
Lastly, my arms feel like jelly from all of the grout and caulk work.
