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!

 

Start the Week with a Bang

While I watered my flowers first thing, I noticed my Tropical Milkweed was completely bare;  I soon discovered why!  I brought one of my other milkweed plants over and coaxed him to board the one with all of its leaves!  I hope I will be seeing a chrysalis soon enough!

Inside, I tackled the quilting on the 2nd QOV and hours later completed the job!

I did bring out some practice fabric (the green) so that I can check the fit and if tweaking is needed, I can work it out before I cut out the silky flowery fabric at the top of the photo.

My goal was to cut all of the pieces of baseboard for the hall to my bedroom.  They are not nailed in place, only fitted but the major part of the work is done.  (my hall and the garage where the saw is are on opposite sides of the house!)

And by 6;00 I was ready for a swim and then a relax with an Audible book to knit by!
