Out house is built on a concrete slab. We need new flooring in our kitchen. The linoleum that was installed when our house was built 13 years ago has seen better days. We decided that we would have the concrete stained and, if we didn't like it, we could then have some other flooring installed. Usually, I'm a DIYer, but decided to hire pros to stain the concrete. The old linoleum has to be removed and the glue has to be ground away and the concrete somewhat polished. The quote came back very reasonable, I thought, except for the labor to remove the old linoleum. Being the tightwad that I am, I decided that I would remove it myself. Thankfully, my wonderful wife pitched it. It was 4 hours of very hard work, but it saved a ton of money. That was last weekend. The concrete guys come in a couple of weeks to finish the job.
I'm not sure what major project my wife has lined up next, but you can be sure that she's got something in mind.
