I checked my past blogs and I found the blog talking about the kitchen floor dated<sup>1</sup> August 18, 2013.</span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 0);"><span style="font-size: smaller;"> Wow! &#8212; it&#8217;s been 10 years! No wonder<sup>2</sup> the floor tiles were looking old.<br />
            <br />
            <br />
            &nbsp; Often it&#8217;s true that we need a reason to jump on<sup>3</sup> a project which we are postponing<sup>4</sup></span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 0);"><span style="font-size: smaller;">. This time it was our friend&#8217;s visit. He finally could visit us from California after Covid-19. <br />
            </span></span></div>

Luckily just before our friend&#8217;s visit, the materials that we had been waiting for came back to the store shelf. </span></span></div>
            <div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: &quot;comic sans ms&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: large;">&nbsp;</div>

We decided to put the new floor tile layer on top of the former floor tiles. Even though we struggled with<sup>6</sup> the edges, now we have a nice new floor and we are happy. Ta-da!<sup>7</sup> <br />
            </span></span></div>

Actually on the day our friend came! While Will went to Sendai Station to pick up our friend, I did it. I had been staring at the old dirty window screen for the last 2 years, but I was able to do it in 10 minutes! Having a guest is a great motivation for taking action<sup>10</sup>!<br />

Maybe because of the long and severe summer heat, I was out of sorts<sup>2</sup>, sort of, (believe it or not, I had a migraine<sup>3</sup> for 25 days of the month!) and I couldn&#8217;t get enough umph<sup>4</sup> for a house project. So, I told myself that it&#8217;s OK not to push myself and it&#8217;s OK to go slow<sup>5</sup> (which I usually don&#8217;t like). Finally, last week, I finished it.<br />

This is actually the hardest part of this whole job. I have done this job many times, and it really takes a lot of power to take the old layer<sup>7</sup> of stain off. So I used a machine. I&#8217;m not supposed to sand<sup>8</sup> in a circle across the grain<sup>9</sup>, but I couldn&#8217;t resist<sup>10</sup> relying on a machine after I learned that it makes my job 10 times easier. <br />

So, to compensate for<sup>11</sup> that, I gave it a finishing sanding by hand, with sandpaper and a piece of wood to hold it. <br />

            <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 0);">&nbsp; Since Ichigo likes nibbling<sup>4</sup> Tasha&#8217;s cat food, we started putting Tasha&#8217;s food on top of one of the chairs which is a little bit high. And also, since Ichigo seldom<sup>5</sup> comes upstairs and Tasha loves to spend most of the day upstairs, naturally Tasha&#8217;s feeding spot is on the 2nd floor. &nbsp; </span></span></span></p>

Maybe because of that, I noticed several tiny moldy<sup>6</sup> spots on the cloth of the chair. For hygenic reasons, I jumped on<sup>7</sup> the project.<br />
            </span></span></span></p>
            <p>&nbsp;</p>
            <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 0);">&nbsp; I tore the cloth off<sup>8</sup> of the top of the chair and threw that away<sup>9</sup>, and I washed the inner quilted cloth that I had put on before (yes, I did this before). After the cloth dried, I put it back and on top of that, I put the new cloth, stapled it down<sup>10</sup>, sewed<sup>11</sup> the corners to make nice curving lines, and voila! <br />

He had been saying, &quot;Let&#8217;s change the carpet on our own<sup>2</sup>. Maybe we can do this and that&#8230;&quot;, and I always said, &quot;How can we do it beatifully? I&#8217;m not really confident that we can do it at an acceptable level.&quot; Will was thinking about using carpet tiles<sup>3</sup>, but I didn&#8217;t like it so much if we can see the lines between the squares. I was quite hesitant<sup>4</sup> about the idea, and actually I started thinking about paying a big chunk of money<sup>5</sup> to have a professional to do a real job. </span></span></span></p>
            <p>&nbsp;</p>
            <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 0);">&nbsp; However, one day, </span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 0);"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 0);">at the college where I teach, </span></span></span>I noticed that the floor that I always thought was a single big sheet of carpet, was actually done by carpet tiles. The lines were not visible at all and it looked really nice. Right away, I changed my mind &#8212; I&#8217;ll do the same thing at home!&nbsp; I was against<sup>6</sup> Will&#8217;s idea of using carpet tiles, but that really blew my mind<sup>7</sup>.&nbsp;</span></span></span></p>
            <p>&nbsp;</p>
            <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 0);">&nbsp; We went to the store and carefully chose a kind of carpet which can nicely hide the lines between the tiles when we put them together. We bought about 80 pieces and we waited excitedly for our Obon break to come!</span></span></span></p>
            <p>&nbsp;</p>
            <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 0);">&nbsp; Finally, we worked on<sup>8</sup> it during our Obon break!!</span></span></span></p>

            <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 0);">&nbsp; Spending 3 days of labor, we basically finished it. From the entrance hall to the end of the living room, and also the landing of the stairs &#8212; now the floors are nice and clean and soft, and it&#8217;s really fun to walk on. I&#8217;m sure that our cat and dog also enjoy walking around the house. </span></span></span></p>
            <p>&nbsp;</p>
            <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 0);">&nbsp; I still have some corners to work on because I have to cut the carpet tiles to go along the zigzag/wiggly<sup>9</sup> shape of the wall. It really takes time. However, when the carpet matches perfectly to the spot after my careful work, I feel so great! That&#8217;s quite a job, but when I remember the nice feeling I can get when it&#8217;s done, it&#8217;s a piece of tile, oopsy, cake<sup>10</sup>! (^-^;)<br />

In our  case, it was a heavy window and a heavy sliding bathroom door, neither of which<sup>4</sup> would open easily.<br />

With Will&#8217;s help, I took the window pane<sup>7</sup> off the frame and loosened and tightened the window pane frame and the screws which hold the rollers with a philips head<sup>8</sup> to see if<sup>9</sup> it would get any better. This didn&#8217;t help, but I saw the bottom of the outer frame was really badly scratched. Later, when I went to the home center, I knew I had found the answer. I bought two rollers with hight adjusters. Using one old usable roller, I decided to support the window at three points with three rollers and this lifted the window slightly up. Bingo! It worked! <br />
