Like Glass, Baby

Deb stayed up all night last night, stripping and waxing our kitchen floor. Doesn't it look amazing??

When we moved in, the floor wasn't sealed. At all. The previous tennants had installed an industrial-grade tile floor (think of the type of floor in your high school), but had neglected to seal it. And then our landlord did some work on the kitchen ceiling and didn't bother to clean up all of the paint splatters that landed on the floor. This was all some years ago, so when we moved in, we got a dull, never-fully-cleanable, Jackson Pollack-decorated bright blue floor.

Until Deb pulled up her britches, went to the hardware store, bought floor stripper, wax & a cheap mop and spent all night last night in the kitchen, pausing as each of the 6 coats of wax dried to drink beers and watch her current obsession: Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

Isn't my girlfriend awesome?
