3hr trip turned in to 7.

Well to follow up on the bathroom before I move on, it is coming along. I am so proud of my handy husband and all the talent he has with power tools. I come up with the ideas and he puts them into reality. If I can figure out to do pictures I would like to get them up. The niche is made, backer board up and we are ready to tile. I painted Monday and Linc is starting the tile today.

So with that said. Yesterday I traveled up to San Francisco to visit my mom who was coming into the state for some medical tests. Hawaii doesn't have the best medical services. Anyways I knew leaving Fresno it was going to be windy trip. That was just the half of it. I decided to take all the kids so I wasn't on a time restraint to get home. Which now I am glad I did. However we weren't even on the road an hr before Rylan started bugging about oh he was thirty and hungry and are we there yet. 1 hr an d15 minutes into the trip we had to make a pee stop. Mind you we ate a big breakfast just before we left. My plan was to stop just outside city traffic in Liverpool to get something to eat, so I put him off. The wind was so bad that it was pushing my suburban into the other lane a couple of times. SCARY! I was white knuckled the whole way. What tension. We finally stopped in Liverpool. 1 hr away from our destination. Feed and settled we were back on the road. 20 minutes later I am flagged down by another motorist telling me I had a flat tire. GREAT! Pulled over off the freeway at he next exit, called AAA for the tow guy to take 1 1/2 hrs to tell me he couldn't get my spare tire off. He then filled me up with air and sent me down the street to the tire shop. 1hr later and 3 squiggly kids we were back on the road. Toll bridge and traffic and we were here in San Francisco. Finally. Not looking to the trip home. But I do love remembering all the memories I have of San Francisco.

Bathroom demo

I have waited four years to get my bathroom redone. With mauve 90"s tile it is just screaming at me everyday. I hate cleaning it, I would always tell Linc one day you are going to come home to a bathroom torn a torn apart on a cleaning day. YUCK!!! When we were ready two years ago to redo it, it got put on hold for us to redo other things in the house so that my Grandma could move in. Now it is my turn. My bathroom. The boys were so excited to get to help Daddy. With hammer in hand they were ready to hit some tile. Our copper sinks came in and the granite is in so things are going according to plan. Ok I really don't have a plan but I must say the bathroom looks better with nothing than it did with the mauve tile. I think I found the tile for the wall and I have had the floor tile for about 2 years now. I never pay full price for anything so the budget is looking good too. I still and always reserve the to change my mind in anything. Linc loves that part, haha. There maybe some electrial things to get done so I have to check out it is worth sending for my daddy to come out and do the work. I still have to decide if I want to go with a jetted tub or leave it. However since the market is the way it is I see us staying here for a LONG time. I think we should do it right if we are gonna do it. I will keep posting our updates.
