The big shed + miscellaneous

I tore out the four tiles that needed replacing after they installed the new door. We discovered that the adhesive was working quite well as they took some prying to get them up. The grout in-between them stayed in place very well, so I just put the new tiles tightly into the grout frames and added a little layer of new grout on top. 

Since it was predicted to be the hottest day of the year (about 100 degrees every day), we decided it was time to paint our giant shed, whose dimensions are about 12' x 20'. The paint was just shredding off. 


It took the full 5 gallons of paint we bought to give it two coats, but it is SO much better! This was the last of our bigger projects, so it felt great to check it off. 


I sanded down the front door and repainted it so no longer feels like coarse sandpaper at least. I decided to use a brush this time since the foam roller was such a disaster the last time. Of course I painted in the morning when the temperature was still ok and it made a big difference.

We got some outdoor furniture for our patio. Just $89 at Walmart on clearance for the four pieces. We hope it will do the job for a good, long while!

We took our old, little round white kitchen dinette set over to the Habitat for Humanity/Restore place, and I hope someone gets it that will enjoy it as much as we did.
