So the kitchen in the Pink House had a wood floor.

Perfectly lovely

What you can’t see is some water damage under the rugs that needed repair.  It was going to cost a couple hundred smackers to get it repaired so I thought for a couple hundred more, (Isn’t that a Clint Eastwood movie?) I could get slate.  I love slate floors.  My kitchen floor is slate and I think it’s just about the prettiest “God-made” material ever, with the exception of granite.  So who ya gonna call???  Boomba, of course.

Getting the old wood up was killer!!! We found lots more water damage when he started tearing it out.

After the boards were gone, he put down the hard backer board.

A not-so-fun puzzle.

Then, he started putting in the tile with some very annoying help from me.

I didn’t want two similar tiles together so I handed them to him based on their different colors and patterns.

Boomba tolerated my “help” with great patience.

I was very pleased with the result!

I think the little kitchen is so cute!

It’s basically finished but I have one more chore for Jim in here for it to be totally complete. Poor Jim. 😦

And for my readers who are disappointed that the KITTYBUNNYCHICKEN has turned into a home improvement blog, I have a fun picture for you.  We’ve been leaving cat food on the porch at night for the stray kitties and also in hopes that GT would return.  Lately the food has been disappearing very fast, yet we’ve not seen any cats partaking of midnight snacks.  Rowdy alerted us to the window last week and stared in disbelief at the creature eating our cat food.

Well hello Mr. O’Possum!

Needless to say, we don’t leave food out at night anymore.  This guy is very cute, but I hear possums don’t enjoy human affection so I refrained from trying to pet him. Actually, Jim wouldn’t let me.  😦  He’s such a party pooper!
