Thanks!

I'm actually really happy with the bed. It wasn't cheap at all, and is very sturdy. I'm happy with everything I bought from there. Their bedroom stuff doesn't seem to be all that bad.

Pete, let me know man, I'm willing to help out as long as I'm around.

Crap, I forgot to take a before picture. I just tore out the fiberglass corner shower in our master bath and I'm putting in a full slate tile shower with no door or glass. I had the shower out and the sheetrock out in a few hours, now I've framed in a wall, replumbed the shower lines and need to frame in a cove for the shampoos and soap. I'll start laying the cement board this weekend. 6 months no payment, no interest at Home Depot rocks!!

Get tile backer instead of cement board, it will hold up to moisture much better. It wasn't much more expensive either. Instead of the paper on the outside it has a stiff plastic material with ridges for the thinset to grab on to.

Here is what the entry way looks like right now. As you can see, it's livable, but kinda ugly. The floor is starting to peel up at some of the seams slightly. The walls are covered in dirty finger prints. The light fixtures look like butt.

I'd like to have it done in a month or so. Basic idea is:

- remove trim along floor
- remove old crappy linoleum flooring
- remove any glue that I can
- tile (12x12 or larger)
- paint the walls
- reinstall trim

Shouldn't be all that difficult really. We'll see how it goes. I'm going to start ripping the trim off any day now. Just need a little pry bar.
