Thank you Tile Queen!

This past weekend Aimee aka Tile Queen installed the most beautiful Porcelain Tile Kitchen floor that you have ever seen. (and you will as soon as I get the kitchen back in order with baseboards etc.

On Friday morning we woke early to get things ready and realized we didn't have the proper scraper appliance thingy...so Aimee and I headed out to Home Depot. At Home Depot by 7:17 and back home by 7:30 to begin. Aimee and Rob got to work mixing the flexbond stuff that sticks the tiles to the floor. Then Rob went to bed and the next assistant started (Aimee's man Gemini). Laying the tiles was an all day process from 7:45 am to around 5:00 pm. My job was to ensure that they had all the food, drink and anything else they needed to complete the task at hand.

On Saturday morning I got up early and started cleaning off the tiles of their yucky cement like stuff so that they would be beautiful for grouting. The grouting seemed like a much simpler process than the actually laying of the tile and was completed in a little under 2 hours! Aimee is the TILE QUEEN! In fact I think I would be bold enough to say that she is in fact the Home Renovation Queen and if this whole PHD Science Researcher/Professor thing that she's going for at University doesn't work out for her she could actually run her own general contracting business. She has a long list of hands on experience that she learned while fixing up our home. She'll make some man very happy one day (I think her current man is kind of intimidated/turned on by her home improvement knowledge!)

So Hats off to you Tile Queen!
