Update from the edge of exhaustion
Top ten things I learned this weekend:
1. Latex concrete bonder looks and feels like Elmer's glue and smells much worse
2. Mildew can live under your linoleum
3. Mildew that decides to live under your linoleum may act like a bioadhesive, requiring several hours and some special tools to remove, and a lot of bleach to kill
4. You always need more concrete mix than you've calculated
5. A level floor takes more than 3 days to achieve
6. 22 bags of concrete is a lot, but still not enough
7. The termite warranty inspector shows up very early in the morning and bangs a lot
8. Wood boring insects are difficult to kill (at least they aren't termites)
9. Concrete work makes you very tired
10. We're still not done leveling the floor and I'm exhausted, so I'm not doing a real post tonight
