I’ve been picking away at the trim and it is a very tough job. I need about a million tiny pieces and they need to be fit just so. I am at the point where I think it will actually be easier to cut it all by hand with my miter box right in place. As it is I have to:<\/p>\n

-get down on my hands and knees to measure;<\/p>\n

-scramble to my feet;<\/p>\n

-run down three steps and up another three to get to the workshop;<\/p>\n

-find a suitable length of trim;<\/p>\n

-measure the trim;<\/p>\n

-figure out how to get the correct angles and adjust the saw accordingly;<\/p>\n

-cut the trim;<\/p>\n

-go down three steps and climb another three;<\/p>\n

-get down on my hands and knees;<\/p>\n

-put the trim in place;<\/p>\n

-curse that it is just an eighth of an inch too long (or, worse, short);<\/p>\n

-scramble to my feet…<\/p>\n

Check out this section from the study to the dressing room, for example:<\/p>\n

Adding those two little pieces and starting on a third took an hour. There is also a problem with the edge of the flooring not being square with the wall, so I wind up with a tiny gap between the trim and the wall that will need to be filled in.<\/p>\n

You’ll notice the vertical wall trim in the second photo. I had to cut away an inch of it at the bottom so that I could get the trim to sit flush there since the wall trim is curved.<\/p>\n

I also forgot that I had one more little carpentry project next to the shower:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I want to fill in that gap up to the edge of the vanity and then recover it. I don’t have any flooring left after doing the stairwell, so I’ll just get one of those 50 cent sticky tiles and cut it up.<\/p>\n

I really don’t find the trim work to be any fun and I would gladly pay someone to get this job done for me, but I will persevere!<\/p>\n

The other project I’m only part-way through is the permanentizing of the cloth dresser. The Gorilla Glue has set<\/a> and I think it’s going to work!<\/p>\n

I need to clean up some of the overspill:<\/p>\n

Next will be the grommets. I’ve been watching videos on how to do it and am just about ready to tackle the job!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
