wanna socialize?

we don't, we're tired. today was a long day, finally stopping work at 11:30pm. we finished the final coat of ceiling paint, and while lori applied the first coat of our wall paint, sherwin-williams 'sociable', jason started the hardibacker installation to serve as the base for the slate tile. besides the fact that the hardibacker needed to be installed with thinset mortar under it, it must also be screwed down. in total we went through almost 1,000 screws. our friend the impact driver saved our wrists.
