So... Whats for lunch?

P.C. · Feb 11 07 06:38

Sorry for the 'gap'. I was at work, and I don't usually post from work.

How's it coming?....I'm still chipping old flooring off. It's a nasty job, and my hands are black and blue. I'm getting 'man hands' *cry

Well, if it comes out the way I envision it to come out, there will definitely be pics. If not....no pics....I'll be busy tiling....LOL I won't get back at it until Thursday. Darned work interferes with my home work.

Do you have to deal with asbestos? My family did at the old house it was in the flooring that we had to scrap off with a scraper. What a pain.

P.C. · Feb 11 07 06:55

No asbestos. The tile that was on the bottom layer, is that old 'composition' tile. It's applied with a mastic that's like gum. 25 + year old gum ! The tiles have become very brittle....which is a good thing, but it's sure not coming off easy.

Sportsdude · Feb 11 07 07:09

yup I've been there I know what thats like, just don't hurt your back scraping the tile off. I feel your pain.

Hey PC. Ah sorry to hear about your hands. Hope they get better. Why isn't Mr. PC doing all the dirty work?

Went to Science World today. Chocolate exhibit by Purdys was.... meh. I think I was more impressed with the one free chocolate that came with our tickets.

Russ · Feb 11 07 08:18

I know this is probably a dumb question but are you using gloves? What are you using to take the bonding off?

Ive never removed flooring but Ill find out when I remove the remains in a few months.

Im sure itll turn out good for you PC

How's the ankle coming along, Russ?

Russ · Feb 11 07 08:26

Sore as heck. Im walking on it once in a while, as its not as bad as the day after, but I have been icing it on and off. It doesnt seem to be a full on sprain, a slight one anyhow.

Thanks for asking... Ill survive.

Purdy's wasnt as good as you thought it would be? Thats too bad..

Hey PC. Ah sorry to hear about your hands. Hope they get better. Why isn't Mr. PC doing all the dirty work?

HI Lise.....I've missed your presence today.

When Miss P.C. gets a project in her mind, Mr. P.C. stands back and gives me all the space I need. He used to just shake his head when I'd come up with my bird brained ideas, but he's come to have a much appreciated respect for the results. He's also learned that I'm pretty determined (pig headed) when I get these notions and he leaves me be. He's relatively new to the 'do it yourself' concept. When I met him, he was the 'pay someone to do it' guy. [FONT size=4]Everything[/FONT]. He had someone cut his lawn, wash his car.....whatever. I'm the opposite. I will only pay someone for something I absolutely can't do myself. I've learned a lot because of it. He knows I enjoy it. (and if I asked him, he would)

A free chocolate you say. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c008.gif[/img]

Mr. P.C. installed this new 'Tab' thing on the tool bar. It's kind of cool.....but it's taking a little adjustment. I can now open my 'group' of things (DS...smilies page....etc) in one click. They are on a tab format above, just like the tabs in a notebook. I like it.

Lise · Feb 11 07 08:32

Glad to hear you're on the mend, Russ. Must be all them goat cheese.

Well, at least you have some idea of what to do at home. You see something and you can go and fix it. I see something, yell for my hubby to come and see the damage and he goes, "so, what do you wanna do about it?" My hubby's like your Mr. PC, just hire someone and pay him or her to do it.

I like the do-it-yourself method. I can't understand why one has to pay someone to fix a relatively simple thing.

There's a new tool bar? I'm scared of inserting anything new because it freaks out the old program(s).

P.C. · Feb 11 07 08:32

So sorry to hear about your ankle Russ. That's miserable !!!! Try to keep it up. (at least that's what Mr P.C. says to me all the time....lol) (of course I never listen)

Not such a stupid question at all, Russ. No, I never wear gloves. In the garden, chopping wood....whatever. They bug me. They say you can tell a womans age by her hands. I say balderdash. When I was 30, I looked 20 but my hands looked 80. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c008.gif" border=0]

Lise · Feb 11 07 08:36

Ah, no way, Ms. PC. I'm sure your hand is as dainty as the day Mr. PC planted a kiss on them and called them his.

Dang. Lise Jr. calling. Gotta run.

And yes, Russ. The chocolate exhibit at Science World was a total let-down. I expected demos or something. But there was really nothing to see. Waste of $15.00 entrance fee. You're better off going to the free open house at the Purdys factory.

Russ · Feb 11 07 08:38

I use same as you PC.. its Internet Explorer 7.0

I love it.

I dont like using gloves either most of the time PC.. I do sometimes.

Depends on what Im doing.. LOL

Sportsdude · Feb 12 07 04:53

Good Morning Everyone!

Wow P.C. you must have like the coolest house ever, with all those projects I'm jealous. When it comes to things I tend to try to fix them on my own. When we moved to the new upscale nieghbourhood, our nieghbour asked if we wanted to hire their maid. We were dumbfounded. A maid? You've got to be kidding. Obviously we said no. We stand out a lot in the new place. Middle class family in a white collar nieghbourhood lol.

Well I'm determined to do a lot of work today so I'm going to limit myself to DS as much as possible.

Russ · Feb 12 07 07:58

Morning all,

Hows everyone doing this morning?
