okay so...

... this is why sometimes it's not so great to be me. While we are on vacation Mr fix it is going to put a base down on the sub floor in the kitchen so I can start tiling. Well he mentioned that the glue would have to come up... in places its hard, no longer tacky and quite thick, I'm not sure if the previous people actually knew they were putting down linoleum. So I said I'd take care of that, cut some costs, make it easier, put my time in... well I really didn't quite know what I was doing, and I've been digging and scraping with chisels and floor scrapers for 3 hours... I got 7 tiles up and the sub floor is beautiful... now lets count my blisters!!!!! So I gave in and called Mr fix it to see if there was an easy way to do this task... he laughed... FOR 10 MINUTES... I was only supposed to scrape up the loose stuff, it should have taken 3 hours if that for the whole kitchen!

Call me Shelia Villa!
