Is it worth it?

Today begins in a relaxed way as we go to a camera swap and find a vintage light meter for Richard. We stop at Target and shop leisurely for such things as paper towel holders.

Back home we discover that person or dog unknown has stepped on the border in one spot, and since it is not reinforced with anything, two tiles were dislodged. Much fretting as we wonder how to fix it. Eventually we go to the home improvement store for tile adhesive and grout, and John does an excellent job putting the small pieces back. The border tiles are slate and they do crack. We had given our friend all the leftover tiles (in hindsight, should have kept a few) but no problem. John just glued them back together and it's invisible.


Ahead in the next few weeks we must pack the living room, move the furniture, paint, take up the carpet, then figure out how to live without a kitchen and keep animals out of 2/3 of the house for three days.

Is it worth it? A definite YES for the comfort and improvement in quality of life!
