Stilly has been busy finishing putting tile on her hall floors, and smearing on the grout. And you know what happens when you finish the job? NO ONE NOTICES! That's right, because the thing about home improvement is that when it is improved it vanishes. Yet how conspicuous it is when it sits there in plain sight, incomplete. MOM sez this reminds her of some of the projects you boys started down in the basement and never finished. I think Rap was building his own cannon cradle and Amos was fooling with nuclear fusion. She stubs her toes on those things any time she heads down to the root cellar for potatoes.
