We started another "easy" project first... stripping the paint from our deck so we can stain it. I used chemicals, pressure washer, and now Scott is sanding it but it's taking SO long! With our schedules it will probably take another month to have the sanding done. I need to stain before it snows!

On top of this, a couple of days ago our indoor hot tub somehow started to leak on our main floor and totally soaked the basement. It put out our natural gas water heater, but luckily that started again when it dried out. We had to empty the hot tub, and then we realized the floor around the hot tub is totally soaked. The next day we stepped on the tile and water was splurting up through the grout The whole floor is squishy! They tiled in the hot tub too, so we have to rip it all apart to find the leak (looks like it must be in the piping behind the plastic tub part) and if we're going that far, we might as well rip out the whole thing and get rid of it. We only use it maybe once a month and it's just not worth the damage if it continues to leak like that! We'll take out the hot tub and the floor and redo that whole area of the house. I am hoping we are able to turn it into a big laundry room.

So needless to say, the sewing room is the last project on the list now.
Awww...sending positive thoughts and prayers your way!!!! Doesn't sound fun at all, but look on the bright side!!! You'll definitely have a sense of accomplishment when all is done!!!

Squishy floors just don't sound fun at all!!!! I hate when projects take so much longer than anticipated!! (Especially when the project I really want done is pushed to the back burner!!!)

Our hot tub is outside, and we only use it during the winter months because it is so darn hot here! Husband said it was 106 degrees inside his shop yesterday!!! Yikes! Even the swimming pool water feels hot!!! Yuck! Oh well, guess that means I'd better stay in the AC and sew for my little furbutts!!! Ha ha! Have a great weekend!
