Rectangular versus Angular

The past two days Brian and I have been helping out at my sister's place with remodeling a bathroom. My sister might be needing to sell her house so they are trying to have the house have a more desired look with a tub being in the master suit. So our Monday of Spring Break began with us heading to my sister's house. I was on babysitting duty of my niece Savennah and Brian was the demo guy. They pulled out the linoleum floor and the carpet in the bedroom first. Then discovered another floor layer needed to be removed from the bathroom. This was the hard part and took up the rest of the time Brian and I had available to help them. Brian and my sister pulling up the floor that was glued to the other floor and me occupying a two year old with a kite and a new orange ball. Then Brian and I went out to eat. We had planned on going on a date Monday so we hit the Beehive Grill for their pub special before Brian went to go babysit for the Poppletons and I headed to work for the night. It was a late night for us but we got up early on Tuesday since our water was going to be shut off for the day and we had to head to my sister's one more time to lay the tile and babysit again. Tuesday was very long. Brian and Daren played with cutting and laying tiles for 11 LONG hours. Savennah wasn't feeling the best on Tuesday either. We decided it was growing pains but she had a hard day. All in all though we finished the floor and offered our shower to allow my sister and her family to be able to relax. Brian's worst thing of the day was trying to figure out all the different angles that were involved in the bathroom. It wasn't easy and he told me that if we ever build a house it will be rectangular shaped with very few angles so a lot of the work can be done by us but without the headache. This made the last two days great for us since we got to enjoy kids and get our fill for them with the good and the bad. We also discovered how hard doing your own projects can be and how rewarding and learning they can be.
