Busy weekend

We didn't have such big, exalted plans for this past weekend... but it turned out to be very busy. We talked it over - Jim was going to caulk in the bathroom, and I would clean a little and check out the buffet for some identifying marks. Not too much later and we were both in over our heads. Jim decided that the linoleum flooring should just come up - there was too much mildew underneath, and the tiles looked fine. Once he had done all that, and scrubbed up most of the glue and mildew, we ended up with a tiled bathroom floor that will eventually need some replacement tiles. It still looks nicer than the linoleum, though. We will need to do some more scrubbing - to get the mildew stains out of the grout.
After lunch we pulled out the buffet, but couldn't find any marks to help us identify the maker. We needed to move it somewhere - or get rid of it somehow - to make room for the new bookshelf that has been sitting in the dining room. It sure would be nice for storage in the basement... but it won't fit down the stairs. The buffet is now a proud resident of our garage, and will most likely be my "potting bench" for a couple of seasons.
A trip to Lowe's and Home Depot took up an hour of the afternoon, and then we both got back to work. Jim caulked, I finished up in the living room. It was good to get some work done.
