How to Turn any Object Into a Silver-plated Work of Art!.

Usually when we’re in the midst of a major renovation project plan A would be to ship the kids to Grammy’s or work while they’re at school.While that may be ideal most of the time, I’ve found big projects are filled with opportunities to create lasting family memories.

They may not grow up to be obsessive crafters or decorators or woodworkers but the memories will surely last a lifetime and inspire them throughout their lives.. Now, as promised in this week’s inspiration Fridays title, here are seven (safe enough to share) renovation moments to enjoy with the kids.Remember, be safe!!!Eye protection, respiratory protection for all and unplug the power tools.. 1.. Layout/lay tile.

– depending on their age, this can vary from dry fitting 12×12 tiles to more complicated combinations of tile and stone.If your child takes to it quickly you can have them spread the thinset and lay the tile.

Plastic spacers make most patterns foolproof.. 2.. Lay flooring.

– many manufacturers of flooring offer ‘lock in’ flooring options that do not required nails for proper installation.Wanna know why?.

Cause it’s the easiest I’ve ever seen.I mean, really, have you ever tried to take one of those things apart?

It’s nearly impossible.I’ve had a few really good old ones leaning against the garage for the last 6 months or so, but I just couldn’t stand tearing them apart.
