Jacob is on my s$@t list :)

Jacob has become quite the handy man over the last couple of years. I swear that when I met him, he didn't even know how to open the sliding glass portion of a window. Yes, I swear. Since we've had our house, he's taken on project after project and has learned so much! He's getting really good at them....well, I say all of this as a precusor to tell you why he is on my s#$t list.

Last weekend, Jacob decided to start in on the project to tile our bathroom. He swore it would be a two weekend project and that he and my dad were going to bear the brunt of the work. Those of you that know my dad probably also know that he sometimes lacks a little motivation. Yes, he did help Jacob for one day, but there was still a LOT to be done. Anyway - Jacob somehow talked me into helping him tile on Friday night. We just had to do one little part of the process. We were going to lay down the mortar and then secure the backer board to it. Sounds easy enough, right? Well, Jacob went a happy hour after work and we didn't get started on our "little" project until 9pm. WE DIDN'T FINISH UNTIL 2 AM! We couldn't stop b/c we'd already mixed the mortar and it would dry up overnight if we quit. Now, staying up until 2AM on a Friday used to be an every weekend event...but that was when we could solidly sleep until noon the next day. Instead, I was awoken by Mitchell every 2 hours until 6 AM on Saturday morning, when he decided to begin his (or shall I say "our") day : )

We still have a lot of tiling to tackle this weekend when Jacob gets back in town, but we will NOT be beginning any projects at 9pm. I'll post a picture of the finished project. Hopefully it'll be worth the effort!

David - why don't you live closer?!?!?! :)
