Day 204 - tiling continues and water works

Day 204 started sunny but -10 ended up overcast and still cold. At the ranch the tub and floor tilers continued and Rick set the basement toilet and perhaps a few more things we might not have noticed, he is like a ninja :-)

After work I stopped at Manda's to borrow her fabulous vacuum and taste test her pizzelles and get a cuddle in with A-man. Soon after I got home, Sheldon arrived home too so we headed out to flooring store to pick up grout and back splash samples. We had a meeting with the stair builder at the ranch at 4:45 who measured them all out and got us a quote. Soon after the AFSC financing guy showed up only to say we might want to look at other options as the opening costs are substantial for loans other than big operating loans. Thanks,  now we are back to the banks tomorrow :-/. A little after six, Sharon and Shelby stopped to help me with my vanity dilemma and progress update. Thanks girls, you really helped me.

6:30 we came back to town where I whipped up supper and Sheldon went to old house on a mail run. After supper Britt, Sheldon and I went to wal-mart on a quick run that ended up being a cart full of shoes and boots and oil and antifreeze makeup run! We then stopped at Totem to pick up a granite vanity top for our custom built vanity in the half bath. Thanks Sharon for confirming my early in the day inquiry!
