Remember "Annie, Get Your Gun" ? "Anything you can do, I can do better, I can do anything better than you!" I loved that show and always thought I could do anything a guy could do, and even managed to do quite a bit of heavy lifting.

When we built our house five years ago, DH and I did all the tile in the bathrooms, floors and walls, the entry way, and later, the laundry room. Our builder promised we would have water by the time we needed to get the tile down, (Lie #427) so we had to haul water in five gallon buckets to mix the adhesive, and the grout, and for clean up. I also tiled the wall behind the kitchen range.

A guy I knew told me not to use black grout in the master bath with the black marble floor, because it would require more clean up...so I did it anyway because that's what I wanted. About the only thing I won't try is high ladder work on gutters or roofs, gives me the heebiejeebies to have too much air below and around me!!!
