Gratitude Day #12: Modern Conveniences

I am thankful for all the modern conveniences that we have now.  I love electricity, power tools, television, DVDs, running water, microwaves, washer/dryer, computers... yup... love it all!!!

Since Lennard got today off, we decided to tackle a project that neither of us have ever done... tiling the shower in our ensuite!  We had installed a shower enclosure a while ago, but we wanted to tile the ceiling and walls above it.  We jumped in and it actually went pretty well.  We had a few little hiccups at first, but once we got going it went okay.  There are a few little 'quirks', but since it's our ensuite no one else will have to look at them except us!  Unfortunately we ran out of thin-set, so we couldn't finish it up, but we're hoping tomorrow night that we can get the last 20-30 tiles put up.  Then we'll wait a few days and grout them and hopefully by the weekend we'll actually be able to USE our shower for the first time in about 5 years!  That's what we get for always putting in on the back burner while we do all the 'other' projects!  I'm glad this one finally made it to the top of the list!

Pictures to follow...
