Replacement of Floor Tiles

Two vinyl floor tiles that we put down years ago had slipped so there was a space between them. With the refrigerator out of the way it was a good time to fix this problem. I removed the two tiles that had slipped and replace them with new ones that have been stored from when the floor was put down.

This job was a little sticky but was quite easy to do.

Noodles

Update. We solved this problem by removing the pipe. It was not as difficult as it first appeared as it was not buried very deep in the concrete. 

The swim noodles are now iilling in the trench left when we removed the pipe until we can get to filling in the trench with new concrete.

These swim noodles were perfect for adding a little safety redneck style.

This swimming noodle is covering up an old oil furnace pipe that sticks up about six inches. The pipe was sure to result in a broken toe.

This one is in the garage. Some prior owners converted the garage into a room. That ridge of wood is just the right height to result in brain stem injury when sitting on the loveseat. We just cut the swim noodle and it stays on by itself.

Check the door width

I measured the hole where the refrigerator goes but did not think to measure the width of the door. The new refrigerator was over 30 inches with the doors removed. My door is 29 inches wide. I spent lunch time and then some arranging for a different refrigerator.

It seems that older houses had 29 inch doors but newer ones have 36 inch wide doors.
