Equilibrium

I believe it's a sign of age and I'm certainly not as strong as I used to be .... but balance? About a week ago I was helping unload a truck full of tiles. The kid handed me a box, I took one step backward and was quickly on the ground with a heavy box of tiles on my chest. No broken tiles or broken bones but that was the end of my work for the day.

Yesterday I was going to be playful with Nahima and pretend I was going to put her in the pool. Picked her up and almost immediately went over backward with her on my chest. She was fine but scared and I got no bruises.  

Gonna have to reevaluate my strength and balance moves.

Finding a straight line

Family and friends have been asking what's up after Shoe passed away and I'm here to say it's just back to work. I'm still staying in Shoe's old house and have asked for a two week extension into mid-May as I'll have a house sitting job starting then. Decided to house sit rather than live in the new house with all the finish work that needs to be done. That brings me to the floors they are working on now. When finished I'll let the workers go and I estimate in about 2 weeks.

So finding a straight line (or wall) in my house is not easy. Remember this started as a family project with not the best builders. The current guys have done their best to correct many of the issues but moving walls was not one of them.

Starting at the front door and wall we ran a line of tile into the dining room. From there through two doorways to the back room. Another over to the back door. This pattern will give an overall appearance of organized tiles but tile sizes along walls will vary as needed and will vary a lot.
