It’s been pretty quiet over here because we’ve spent the last few weeks doing some less-than-exciting work around the house. Without any major deadlines, everything seems to take a whole lot longer.
After moving in, a big pile of baseboards sat in our living/dining room while we were busy with other priorities. But, with the kitchen finished and most of our stuff unpacked, we knew it was time to get moving on the rest of the trim work.
Using the saw outside is a little less fun this time of year, but Dave braved the wind chill to get it done.
Once all the trim was installed, caulked and painted, we turned our attention to patching up the nicks and gouges in the walls. As careful as we were, bumping the walls was inevitable!
This seemingly minor trim work takes a huge amount of time. And while it isn’t the type of work that people tend to notice – unlike a new kitchen, bathroom tiles or hardwood floors – it does make our house look complete.
So, that’s what we’ve been up to over here.
