New Floor

 When I got back in town on Monday,

Jim and Kyle were on the patio,

mixing buckets of mud.

And Rod was spreading it on the floor in my zoom room.

It's "self-leveling" so all he had to do was spread it out.

(It looks orange because he first had to put down 

some primer... and it picked up the color from the old tile...)

It was a lot of work, but because it starts to harden 

quite quickly (20+ minutes) they had

to work fast. 

They were done in just about 2 hours.

And it looks GREAT!!!!!

Now we just have to wait for it to cure all the way,

and then we will have someone come in

and lay down some silver carpet we picked out.

Meanwhile.....

I got a phone call from my boss this morning.

The instructor I covered for last weekend is

still in the hospital, so it's back down

to Miami Lakes for the 2-day Blended class for me.

Made some quick hotel reservations.

Kyle plans to leave on Saturday for a run to Kansas

to take his car and the little tractor, along with

anything else he can fit on the trailer or in the truck.

He'll stay at our house and while he is there

he is going to build a small dog yard so when

we arrive in April we will have somewhere to

put the dogs without having to leash walk them 

or lock them in their crates.

Plus, of course, he needs to run out to the ranch

and check on HIS house.

And he wants to go to the storage building

in Hill City and get his pressure washer

and bring that home with him.

Looks like it will be a busy couple of weeks!
