Very nice job Elizabeth!

I love the tiles; very trendy you know.

The muscles have a way to forget how they used to work huh? Lol, I know mine are screaming for mercy.

Again, super job!

Bill

Just be careful with the back muscles! All the bending over is kinda hard on them. Stand up and stretch regularly- I fought my back all summer from being too pigheaded to stop working. "I'm almost finished with (this course, the dome, the stand...) .

I've apparently NEVER used my shoulders and arms the right way- it's just catching up to me now that I've been doing more work like this and with the nail guns, etc. at work. Dead weight at the end of the arm is bad if you don't lift it right. Imagine.

Sounds like a good plan to give your back time to heal over Winter...

I have to do PT for my back, too. Another of those things where you're lying in bed going "oh dratt, I forgot to do my back exercises AGAIN..."

The oven looks great! Its really come together with that last coat, gives it a very finished look. Lovely!

My arm exercises are the same way, and I've only just started with it. I do the sort of yoga style exercises for my back too. I'm trying to get in a routine of doing them at a set time in the day so I don't forget. Only question is, morning (Not my best time of the day without coffee) or evening (when it's really easy to be too tired to mess with it)?

It's going to take the same mindset I had to develop when I decided I didn't want to weigh nearly as much as my husband... and he's 8 inches taller than I am.

Elizabeth, YOU ROCK! What a fabulous WFO (or is that UFO?!). I've been admiring your progress and grit - what a great testament to shear determination! You're an inspiration, girl! Please keep following-up....maybe with food?

Thank you very much. I'm very pleased with how it's looking- Frances says that it'll not be quite so shiny white after a while, which will be good.

I really need to get the rest of the tile down tomorrow or I suspect I'll have run out of time. The weather's a changin' again!

This is what greeted us this morning. I don't think we've had snow this early in 20 years.

So, I guess I really am finished for this year!
