Beadboard is your friend
Despite outside opinions that our love and installation of bead-boarding around our house is well out of control, we set off to destroy the ugliest fucking girly tile ever made or put up in a kitchen. Disguised by the premise of changing out the old stainless steel sink in the kitchen, I managed to get Jeff to agree to change the countertop and in doing so made a reasonable request that if the counter was being changed, why not just get rid of that ugly back-splash tile. I got my way of course, and the tile came off this weekend as well as the whole counter while the bead-board wainscoting went up in preparation for the new counter being delivered this Friday. Though there aren’t any pictures of me using it, my new love for our CraftsmanŽ table-saw borders on pornographic. So by the end of the afternoon Saturday, we’d ripped out the tile and the counter, hung the new bead-boarding, and had several coats of paint on it. The look is so perfect even without the new counter in yet, I don’t even know why we waited this long.

It’s just gorgeous. And the pictures that give us tantalizing glimpses of your behind are also much appreciated and admired.

Just don’t clean it with toothpaste, ok?

I’m not embarassed to admit that I was totally jealous of your man-tool. So, not to be outdone by the gays, I had to get something with which I could make loud noises and tear into wood like there was no tomorrow. I decided on a 12″ Heavy-Duty Double Bevel Compound Miter Saw. It’s every bit as cool as it sounds. If you have nothing better to do on a Labor Day weekend, check it out:
