My husband went away and I thought I’d take up some DIY home decorating in his absence to up our <a href="http://www.movewithus.co.uk/forms/house-valuation" rel="nofollow">house valuation</a> (on a budget of course as we’re looking to move soon). But little did I know that tiling would be so difficult. It looked so easy in the video I looked up :(Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13258883827055708858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617167122537575386.post-4218459285564676582011-07-10T16:51:47.077-04:002011-07-10T16:51:47.077-04:00LOL!

After moving across the country with no furniture, we thought it was a brilliant idea to set to work making our own furniture in our apartment in the middle of blazing LA summer heat!

I'm on handyman number 14. Last one showed up drunk and didn't finish the job, one before that was too busy crying over his wife leaving him, number 9 died, number 6 was caught rifling through the daughter's underwear drawer. I have a bathroom reno to do. Ugh. Thinking about it makes me want to sniff some of that glue. Save me some, okay?sheWhoMustBeHrdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617167122537575386.post-21717698335176978302011-07-08T11:02:51.833-04:002011-07-08T11:02:51.833-04:00I'd love to see the finished product!!
