Yesterday and today were spent at the Toledo household, working on mudding, sanding, painting, and flooring. I decided to try and conquer some of my fears, so I took one for the team and grabbed the tallest ladder, climbed up, and sanding the previous day's mudding. Pictures for proof are below! It doesn't look that high up, but it was....it was one of the highest kitchen ceilings I have ever seen! Later today I also used the electric saw without being scared...I watched my teammates use it so I felt confident in what I was doing, and didn't let myself think about how dangerous it was, I just did it! One of my favorite parts of the day (besides buying ice cream at the dollar store for everyone!) was working on the flooring. It was like a giant puzzle and it was pretty confusing at first, but once we figured it out it was pretty fun! It was wooden panels that snap together, so cool!
Tonight for dinner we went to a local church for "Taco Tuesday" which they have every week for us! It was delicious! And they made us fried ice cream for dessert! Wooohoo! It was a realllly long day at work today, but I enjoy learning new things, so it was fun! Oh, and mama, I will be able to finally finish the bathroom for you! It is the exact same stuff we are learning to do right now! I hope you are as excited as I am about that! And that also means that Aleena can paint it, which should be right up her alley :) OR I can just teach Zac and Jonny how to finish mudding the bathroom and they can do it...even better! haha
Hey sweetie...sorry to burst your bubble, but the bathroom is all mudded and painted (white) ... remember? It got done at the same time as the siding. But don't despair...there are plenty of other opportunities for you to use your new skills, and I'm sure Jonny and Zac would looooove a lesson or two! We still miss you, but it's fun keeping up with your adventures this way! Thanks for much for sharing.
