House in progress

Grrrrrrr!!! I just had a really long update for everyone, and it vanished when I left the room to work on the next trim step. Oh well. Of course now I'm feeling totally uninspired and hope that this last little glitch is not indicative of things to come concerning the sunroom. I'm working on hanging trim today. This means measuring, cutting, hammering, yikes! So far I've cut and stained some pieces that will serve to fix one of the snaffoos (sp?) we've encountered in attempting to make the room look like we knew what we were doing when we started to work on it. I've cut some of the baseboard trim; don't worry Mom, I didn't use the circular saw. I couldn't figure out how to get it to go. I think it could sense my apprehension. I did things Little House on the prairie style. The only moving part on the saw I used (I don't know if there's a name for this saw) was my elbow. The piece fits and now the cut end of it is being stained. I think the next piece I'll do will be the baseboard on the driveway side of the room. Only one cut with the newly named elbow saw. If all goes well, I'll take some pictures to post. Then I'll run to the library to put them up. If all does not go well, you'll have to stop by and see my mistakes in person. Ok, off I go. Time to watch the poly dry. Have a great day. Keep cool. Remember that your local library is a great air-conditioned playground for the mind.
