    Neat project and a good learning experience.

    One thing that I always tell people to keep in mind is that for a project which is fairly labor-intensive (like this one), think about hiring someone to help - either a student or a day-laborer. It will reduce your "profit" but might make the project a lot easier.

    I probably should have mentioned in the post - I had three other guys helping me on day one, and a couple on day two and three - all for the price of pizza on one day, and subway subs on another day. So luckily i had plenty of help. I can't even imagine how long it would have taken if I had done it completely on my own.

    I tiled the bathroom floor with tiles that were left from a previous owner. I used the exact number of tiles that I needed with none left over. While trying to do something else, I broke one. That was about three months ago and I still haven't been able to find another one of the same type.

    You do a nice job with the blog. I just added you you to my blog roll and plan to visit more often.

    PS: I will keep your wife in my prayers.
