someone around here is getting a lot of work done. thank you, santos!
i came home to this lovely, hand-written note, written just for me. he really cares. well, actually, he may be writing these for all the people he does work for. he may actually be carrying this one sign from site to site, for all i know. he may have been using this one for eight years. but no matter, i was very touched when i read it, so i will not step on wet tiles until tomorrow when, apparently, it will be ok.
today was floor-guys day number 2 and now the floor is almost done. just some grout and then i officially have a new floor. it looks a little like leather. it also looks like steel. will you please make up my mind?
the blue lines are to help me know which tiles are still wet and where i might be able to step. and those little white things are spacers. here, have a closer look:
santos asked me how much space i wanted between the tiles, 1/8" or 1/16"? so here we have spacers setting the 1/16" gap between tiles. ingenious.
this is a bug's-eye view of the kitchen. to an ant, my kitchen will seem especially huge and a little intimidating. now i feel bad for being so big. i really would have gotten my money's worth if i was only 2 mm tall.
perhaps now would be a good time to field some of the many questions sent to me every day.
Q. my husband loves lemon meringue pies, but every time i make one, the meringue drops. it looks great when i first take it out of the oven, but then it just flattens. what's the secret to a high, fluffy meringue?
A . don't you mean insulation?
Q. can flour explode?
A. yes.
Q. when will we have another opportunity to see madly-coiled blue thing?
A. click!
that's all for now. have a great weekend!

To an ant, I think it's as good as Yosemite, but with the added risks of chickens. On the up side, though, you pretty much have 1/16" streets going everywhere. Really convenient if you're an ant on the go, which I think most are. You've really thought of everything, Jeanette!
