If You Give A Mouse A Cookie....

Those mouse books should be adapted for DIY projects.  If you are having your floors replaced, you will want to attempt to redo your countertops.  If you are going to redo your countertops, you will need to tear down the tile backsplash.  If you tear down the tile backsplash, you will destroy the wall and have to buy new tile for a new backsplash.  If your old faucet is leaking water all over the old countertops, you will need to replace it so that the water doesn't wreck the new countertops.  If your cabinet is broken and will possibly fall and damage your new countertops, you will need to have it repaired.  If you have the cabinet removed for repair, you might as well paint, since standing on the countertops is easier with the cabinet gone.  If you are going to have nice new concrete countertops you are going to want new, prettier appliances.  And finally, if you a are a slob, and slopping wet concrete all over your floors, your dog of very little brain, will think it looks delicious and eat it all up before you can clean, which will involve a panicked call to the vet.  I started all of this exactly one month ago, and should be finished this week.  Ted was "finished" with all of this weeks ago. 

Missing cabinet, ready for paint.


I had to move the stove away from the wall, several times a day, good thing it is light.


First coat.

  1. It looks great!
    You gave a mouse several cookies, and she is grateful. She gobbled the up and didn't require anything further.
