TILED OUT

The tile guy is here. A friend who is a pro.

He has done the worst part already. Sawing/grinding the grout out and recovering the existing tiles.

Dust. But not as much as I expected.

This afternoon he will put the tile back down.

He thinks the reason we are getting this rising up of tiles is that they were not put down very well. Not a lot of cement or whatever on the bottom.

We know that everything shifts in the house's structure. There are constant itty-bitty earthquakes and such. The tiles are squeezed and rise up. So now we are paying the price for the original negligence.

We will sleep in the guest room tonight so that 'someone' doesn't walk on the newly glued tiles.

'Someone' isn't too happy with the arrangements.

We have gone to the room several times to inspect. We put his bed in the guest room and he took his regular nap with me. Now, I have brought it out to the kitchen so that he can be with me.

Things will be back to normal tomorrow night.

Between the rain and the dislocation it is an unsettling day for the dog and his companions.

We would treat it as a vacation trip! But it is raining.
