Back Splash

Joseph and I spent whole week (actually 4 days) on back splash in our kitchen.

This is how it looks like before we bought the house...

This is how it looks like when the contractors finished the countertop and tore our back splash...

I'm too tired to write the story in words....

Let us just watch the pictures....

This is an advice for couple who are married and going to get married...

If you want to know a person, you can do the house remodeling together...

This is really an opportunity for us to work together.

We have been fighting since Joseph decided to do back splash by our owns.

I told Joseph it's not wise to do by ourselves at this moment. We're going back to Taiwan on 12/25 and the wedding is coming up.

He still wants to try...

Since he insists, I have to 順服~

The following is our progress....

DAY I----- (Tuesday 12/11/2007)

工欲善其事，必先利其器

We bought lots of equipments and materials on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday morning.

Look at Joseph---> He didn't know how to control the tile cutting machine very well at the first day so He was like 落湯雞 all day....

 

DAY II----- (Thursday, 12/13/2007)

Start to 貼瓷磚...

Joseph is getting used to control that machine...

And I am more familiar w/ the tiles...

Now it's 1:30am... We finally finish one small wall...

There's a 小插曲 which is our furniture arrived on Thursday morning...

This is our new dishwasher... but it doesn't look as nice as we thought...

Last but not the least.....Jiang-Jiang....

Our PA system arrived at the same day....

DAY III&IV----- (12/15~16/2007)

We finished tiling on Saturday night....

This is how it looks like...

We did grouting on Sunday afternoon after co-worker meeting...

Now we have to wait at least 3 days to seal the tiles....

Will upload more finished work after we clean up the kitchen...

If you see it carefully, you'll notice that the faucet is missing...

The countertop company hasn't sent a plumber to install our plumbing system in kitchen....

In the end of this page I would like to tell ppl who want to tile by themselves.

Do it if you have enough patience... and try to simplify the pattern if you don't have enough patience....

I have been sitting on my countertop for days...

I told Joseph that I might be the only sister in our fellowship who "SITS" on her countertop....

一輩子的遺憾...

If there's a 遺憾 in my life so far, that will be I don't have a wonderful memory of engagement...

One of our friends told me that her boyfriend proposed.

I was supposed to be happy for her, but I couldn't...

This is always my hurt...

Every time when ppl asking how Joseph proposed, I always 三言兩語帶過去.

木已成舟,

I can't ask him to propose now... (Unless I return the ring...),

I believe this will be my 一輩子的遺憾,

I can't tell my kids how their dad proposed...
