We decided to start our vacation with a day of relaxing so we slept in. When we finally got going we decided to do some shopping. We went to home depot to buy Ryan’s birthday gift (although he’s not allowed to play with it until Monday so I’ll save the picture until then).

Then we went to Lowe’s to buy some sconces for the bathroom, we’re still not 100% sure these are what we want (we’ve already returned another set that didn’t work out to match our faucet). Finally we went to another home depot to get what is essentially my birthday gift – a stand for the compound miter saw. I’m so tired of using up a pair of saw horses to hold it and I can’t move it at all. This new stand is awesome.

Finally we came back home and I did some organizing, cleaning up. I got the tools organized and moved around (preparing for demolition this week). Then after a dinner break I got to work stripping the trim for the bathroom door while Ryan worked. It took me from 8pm until midnight but I got the trim all stripped down. I just need to sand it in the morning and we can put it up before finishing up the tile!

A good first day of vacation, that’s for sure… tomorrow.. tiling!
