A BIT OF CARPENTER WORK

We started yesterday out with a bang!  
Bill hefted the large sectional up and out of the way so I could finish the baseboards!  Remember I did the rest of the house several years ago (2021) but couldn't move the big stuff at the time and did what I could reach but the time finally happened to get the whole job done!  
I worked behind one section and when I had finished, 
Bill moved the other half out of the way-
and I finished that side!  I will note, the nail gun was a huge time saver and I wish I had one when I did the other 8 rooms and 2 halls but hey, now this room is really done and
 It was also good to get to clean under the sectional 
and find all kinds of kid toys and cat toys! lol
As long as I was in the sprucing up mode, I spray painted this old table that had lost its coloring.
I even cleaned both sides of the heavy glass top and set it back in place!  Overall, it felt good to get the room put back in order and know that it is done deal!
Now the only place in the house that needs finishing, is the wall behind my huge and heavy king-size bed/frame
 but that will be saved for another day!

  3. Great job! We vacuumed under the recliners this morning and got half a dog! Ha! How does such a tiny dog shed so much? Your room looks great and so does the table.
    Blessings and hugs,

  4. I need to clean all the baseboards. I'm thinking I'll just hire someone to do it. LOL!

  5. I had to laugh because after all the work we've done around here in the past few years we've still got a big section of the living room that needs its trim finished. It's not behind furniture so it's pretty obvious but for some reason I can never get The Mister to get it done. He's always hemming and hawing about how to go about those crazy angles we'll have to cut but won't just give it a try. I give up. The next owners can figure it out.
