The very definition of insanity

No update in a while, because we have been busy.

I have designed the kitchen cabinetry layout fitted (roughly) into the architect's suggested new floorplan (which has some walls and doors moved). We have begun the arduous task of re-selecting products for the floors, kitchen, and bathrooms. Again.

And, what would you imagine we discover while making product selections? Why, YES, they have discontinued most of the selections we made back in 2010, so we had to start all over. On everything for the old house.

Only, wait a minute, the blue/gray tile for the pool room (to be located in the new house) has been discontinued?!?!?! Nooooooo.........but there is still some 2000 sf of the larger size in the warehouse? Okay, we can probably make that work.

And then...wait a minute, the tile I just selected for the hall bathroom LAST WEEK is being "phased out" and there is only 300 square feet of it left in the warehouse now?That's ridiculous.

So, we asked our architect to go out of his way to purchase the tiles for us. All 800 sf of them.

Only, we can't store them at the old house anywhere as it will be remodeled real soon now (late summer) we hope. And we can't store them at the new house, as that worthless garage takes on water everytime it rains.

So, on Friday, the tiles, all 800 sf of them, will be delivered to our storage unit location, where they will be forklifted off of the truck. And then...

yes, Roy thinks he is going to move all 2 tons of tile, box by box, from the delivery drop zone to a flatbed dolly to our upstairs storage unit. And he thinks he will be able to move a box every minute from drop zone to dolly and dolly to the floor of the unit.

By my estimate (we don't know how many tile per box but we do know weight per tile), that's crazy talk. I know I won't be able to help much, if at all.

If anyone wants a real back-breaker event, come join us Friday afternoon.

I'll try to get some pics on Friday to share.
