When the bough breaks...

Tonight, I am broken hearted. But, in these tears I will bathe a new beginning and grieve lessons learned. I will raise a glass to feigned bravery and friends that hold my chin high until I find the strength to stand with shoulders back and a heart eager again for the sun. In the meantime, I will sort through these pieces and sew seams with snowflakes and twine. I will seek wisdom from the bough that is broken and I will plant a stronger tree in its place.

aaaand we're still at 2 of 4

no exciting progress pics to post tonight. last night's lack of sleep did me in.  I decided to play with the dogs instead. however now, I'm feeling an incredible amount of guilt for not having worked on the kitchen AT ALL and for not having worked out.  I believe I will at least rectify the latter by banging out some pullups, pushups, and burpees before i collapse.
I DID however, make a huge score off of craigslist today.  Free stone and tile to my hearts content. NICE stuff. The stone is amazing... Can't wait to show you what I plan on doing with it!
With the exception of Sunday plans with friends and the inevitable search and rescue mission(s), I'll be steady working on this little project all weekend. Watch for pics. ...maybe even a video. :)

Ok...it's 12:06. Drywall is repaired except for one last piece behind the water heater and the 1st piece of new subfloor is layed. 2nd piece has been measured, marked, and ready to be cut as soon as I get home from work tomorrow. 3 more pieces to go and the last two only need small cuts.  Subfloor will be done by tomorrow evening! Woohoo! After that's finished, I start designing the cabinetry/countertop space and choosing materials...
