actual tile conversations
I wake up, go to work, sit in my cube, leave work to go to the house, work on the house, then go home...
Recently it seems there are a lot of days where the only people I'll see during the course of the day are the person I've ordered my lunch from and Melissa. This is just a taste of the kind of stuff we seem to talk about.
------------
(installing backerboard)
M: It says here to put in screws every 8 inches.
C: Okay. *proceeds to put a screw in every 8 inches around the perimiter of the board*
M: Uh. I think it means every 8 inches.
C: *stares at it for a minute* Holy Crap?!?... I think we'll need more screws.
------------
M: Maybe we should just get new linoleum?
C: *complete shock*
M: I keeeeeeed! I keeeeeeeed!
------------
C: Should we keep this? *refering to tile layout map*
M: I have a copy on the computer. We won't need it again anyway.
C: But this is the actual one we used! We should keep stuff like this! Printing another one up would be like creating a replica?! No one goes to museums and stuff to see replicas?! You think that the Wright brothers plane and Sputnik at the Smithsonian are replicas?! Wait.... they are aren't they?
M: So... should we cement it under the tile so that if they ever pull it up it's like discovering buried treasure?
C: Now you're talking silly.
------------
(new drill)
C: oooooooooh! I can drill a hole to China!
------------
(adhering tile)
C: This one rocks.
M: Push down on it.
C: *grumble*
------------
(while grouting)
M: I hope we know what we're doing.
C: *laughter* I hope we know what we're doing too.
C: You think people can actually walk on this stuff?
------------
(hunger)
M: I'm hungry.
C: Me too.
*half hour of more work*
M: I'm hungry.
C: Me too.
*repeat as needed*
------------
(hunger option 2)
M: I'm hungry.
C: Me too. What do you feel like eating?
M: I dunno? What do you want to eat?
C: I dunno.
*half hour of more work*

M: I dunno? What do you want to eat?
C: I dunno.
