We’re finally getting tile installed downstairs after having lived with bare concrete since August last year. The place is finally turning into a home. The mortar needs 24 hours to set, and then the grout will need another 24 hours, and another 24 hours for the grout sealer to set.
They’ve left a single-tile wide path from the stairs to the back door so we can get out of the apartment if we need to. But, the kitchen’s off limits. I can’t even make microwave popcorn (not too much of a hardship, since I prefer “real” popcorn that you cook yourself in a pan over the stove). I did think to bring my coffee maker into my room, and coffee and filters, so there’s that, at least. And even though I really don’t like to bring food into my bedroom, I brought a couple of loaves of French bread and a bag of Funyuns up here to tide me over until I can get back into the kitchen. I’ll probably pick up some fresh fruit tomorrow morning.
Renovation is a wonderful thing. Now if we can just talk the management into some decent landscaping, and maybe a face-lift for the entire complex… It could happen…!
