Week ending 7/20/12

On Saturday, we usually take the dogs somewhere for an adventure walk.  This is us in the car with "dog" as the co-pilot.  Danny likes to climb as far into the front seat as possible, so we set up this black canvas barrier to keep him from getting all the way up front.  He still likes his head up with the people's heads though.

I hung this whiteboard Saturday as well, and it lays out the next 1-2 years worth of projects for us.  It's strangely uplifting even though there are so many projects to go.  It's just cool to see that projects that seemed like we'd never get to are now on the horizon. 

Saturday's other project was to lay out the floor tile sample in the bathroom to work on making a choice. 

On Wednesday, we went back to the tile store and it was very draining (trip #2).  Even though we left at 2:00, it was 45 minutes in traffic to get there and it's not very far.  We got the Menta tile ordered for the tub deck (seen in the picture above).  We also got a price on the glass which seems way too high so I'm going to order it on the internet.  We took home more floor tile samples, and feel like we're getting close on picking the floor tile.

On Thursday we laid out the new samples so we could make a choice.  Spoiler: we ended up choosing the one on the black background.  

In the evening, we snuck out and managed to catch an outdoor concert at the beach.  Now that's why we live here!

On Friday, I went back to the tile store (trip #3) and it wasn't as bad.  I found an alternet route and the traffic wasn't as bad.  I got the floor tile ordered.
