Bath and Laundry Floors

I am starting to think that this flooring saga will never be done. Ever. Ever. Good news, though, is that the laundry room and all the bathrooms now have shiny new DuraCeramic laid!

Gone is the pesky Artica that failed to live up to it's high price tag! I am really loving the change of flooring (I wasn't sure that I'd like it at all). It's a big change since, in the upstairs baths, it replaced WHITE flooring. And I have a major case of the saddies that my sparkly flooring is no more - it was so much fun to look at! I think it's a good choice for resale, though. Appealing to the masses, yeh, that's the stuff!

Due to the pesky liability rules of the flooring company, I was responsible for replacing the toilets. No biggie, it only takes a few minutes. Buuuuut, dude put the downstairs toilet (which *still* had water in it) in the garage while he worked. So, yeh, the water froze, the toilet cracked, and now I need to go shop for a replacement. Geez, duh! Who does something that dumb?! Man alive...

Here are some before and afters of the rooms:

Now that I have the opportunity to pick a new toilet, I am looking for suggestions. Right now we have the Gerber Viper (is that not a hilarious name for a toilet?!) in all of the bathrooms because the contractor gave me a great price on them, but we don't love them. Any suggestions for a must-have toilet? 

Moving my Washer

The floors are done (post and pics coming soon, I promise), toilets are installed, time to put back the washer and dryer.

Mr. Mel and I planned to move them back into the laundry room this morning, but Mr. Mel ended up having to work (when the clients call, he jumps). Undaunted, I decided to move them back...myself!

It went a little something like this...

"Grunt, grunt, grunt, sigh, ugh, grunt grunt, whew, ugh, wait, why is their blood all over the side of the washer? Huh, must be from the delivery guys. Grunt, grunt, whew, grunt, OWWWWCH! Wait, that's *MY* blood running down the side of the washer! *@$#!!! Owie, owie, owie, eeeesh, owwwwwwwie".

Somehow, I managed a 2" gash in my finger and some smaller cuts on the palm of my hand.

Man, I think I need to seek some help for this insatiable need for immediate gratification! Ha ha. Off to the medi clinic for a few stitches...later gators!

Some Fun on a Wednesday Night

Okily dokily, so this post is just for a giggle. I thought it was so cute (and potentially revealing) that I thought I'd do it.

I found this at Rogue Poags via Mandee at the Bear Naked Truth.
