One new dishwasher = completely remodeled house - Page 10

Okay, so how hard is tiling walls? We have about 2' of wall above the tub/shower unit, and right now it's just painted wall. I'd love to do a fancy tuscan-style tile dealie there.

If you have the right tools to cut the tile, tiling anywhere is easy...I've tile a wall around my fireplace to match the tile on the floor and it wasn't anything major. The only issue is patience, because you have to hold each tile a while until the cement sets a bit so that gravity doesn't pull it down the wall and out of place.

Errr, I thought jobs like that were why we had kids.

The first domino is about to fall for us....

Our window guy (hey, I got a "guy") comes tomorrow to take the technical measurements. We signed a contract last week to replace 25 windows with nifty cool triple this and argon that windows. They should be installed in a few weeks.

After that we repaint, add new gutters and then tear off the back of the house for the new kitchen. Ahhh spring is in the air....

25 windows? Gosh Moonliner, just how big is the spaceship?

Stuff always sounds so easy until I look at my 1920's construction.

Agreed, everything of that vintage is a special case.

And, my entire house is pretty much vintage (which is why we bought it - no unfortunate remodels). I don't want to be the one to spoil it. Oh the pressure!

Okay, so I have a question...

I like this door. It costs $169... but how much will it cost me to get the damn thing installed? Anybody?
