Had the last cupboards demolished, toilet pan removed, all the tiles ripped from the floors, thin-set ground down, and a self-leveling coat put over...
Now I need to wait for it to set before I can work on the house any more..

Do mine next please? I really gotta decide what I want and start figuring it out. On the upside I've decided I'm putting a 4 room mini-split upstairs That only took like 6 years to decide on. Now I have to start the actual planning :roll: decide in haste repent at leisure.

I like the design bit more than the dirty stuff...
But nothing beats walking the shops trying to find two samples that work together perfectly.
Sometimes it bites you in the arse as I fell in love with some 25kg grey/taupe marble look rectified tile that is like $35 for 3 tiles in a box.
it just blends with the greyish taupe luxury vinyl plank so well it looks like it was designed by the same person. And I have never seen such flat, smooth and square tiles. it looks like the were precision ground and the colour almost looks like it goes right through

Sunday I will start by putting in the new toilet, one benefit of the plank is it goes around stuff, not under...

But at least there is nothing left to demolish except for the bath. which I might also knock out on sunday to set the new height and level with the lifted floor level... Solid brick house with concrete floor... You gotta mean shit when you want to work. it isn't like the saw a hole through the wall with a breadknife you guys are used to. My hammer just barely goes into the boot of my car sideways.

No, I mean why isn’t there a donut shop in your town?

Hell, if enough people buy em, I’ll set up a couple of turkey deep fryers on the side of the highway and fry em up to order! Donuts OR turkeys!

There used to be, and they bailed out. Two different people had them, one couple had one 25 years ago when we moved here, but they retired and sold the place. I guess the second place didn't make enough money to keep it open, or the property owner sold the land. They tore the building down and built a bank, so a road trip is the only option.

this is apparently my week to do the touristy shit i never do...a new skylift opened up about 10 miles from my house, and my visiting friends wanted to go check it out. looks like everyone is trying to get into the riding stable business....20211001_123324(0).jpg
the fall colors are starting to come on, looks like it's going to be nice by the end of the month

couple of turkeys, which is kind of odd, never see less than half a dozen at once.

top of the mountain, not much to do, took pictures, played a couple of games of cornhole, watched other people eating disgusting moonpies (i hate those fucking things, i was a fat kid and would still pass on a moonpie)

little bonus, two black bear cubs were wandering around directly under the lift, looked for mama, didn't see her, but you know she ain't far away

Wears Valley, the area between Pigeon Forge and Townsend. the foothills parkway starts just a mile or two away
