Homework, a la Trading Spaces

Tim asked me the other day if I had been blogging about my “homework”. And I told him, no, but I should. So….

When we first started on the tile in the guest bathroom, at the end of the first night, Tim was like “OK, here’s your homework, like they do on Trading Spaces.” And I had this blank stare I gave him that said “how on earth do you know about homework on Trading Spaces?” Then, I realized, I had made him watch one episode with me several years ago, the infamous one where Hilde redid the master bathroom and stapled thousands of fake flowers on the wall. That house (and the one where Laurie did the beautiful bedroom for the other lucky people) is just a few miles from where we live, and it had been written up in the local newspaper. I only watched Trading Spaces during it’s heyday, maybe some that season and another. I had no idea Tim had picked up on their “homework assignments” at the end of each day. But he did! {that Tim, he’s something else, isn’t he?!! :D}

So, I had homework most every night. It’s my job to remove the spacers the next day from tile we had laid the previous day/ night.

My homework now is to mist the grout twice a day for 2-3 days. And yes, I have already done my homework this morning 😀
