Windows

Oh, we are getting so close to having the living area done. Sure, we may be caulking and painting for years to come, but most of the work that requires power tools is done!  Michael and I went this past weekend with the goal of getting all of the windows trimmed out (check!) and the rest of the molding done in the living room and bathroom (check!).  Michael got lots of caulking done and I started with baseboards and trim painting, which actually went way faster than I expected and wasn't nearly as difficult as I expected.  We are looking to having our handyman finish the paneling and the flooring in the bedrooms which will be a HUGE help, especially for Michael who has probably paneled way more than he ever wanted to!  Although he is quite good at it now. 

A cold front was blowing in from the North while we were there and it was so nice to lay in the bedroom at night and not feel like the house was going to blow away.  You could still hear the wind a bit, but not nearly as much as you would have before the storm.  No tree limbs hitting the window right by your head! 

Oh and another thing I did was put some bracing my my favorite green shelf down there so that it doesn't wobble and act like it is going to fall over.  Little shelf is beat up, but I love it.  May need a paint job soon, but it is just like new now that it has a bit of support!

OK, here are the pics...



 We also go the toe kick installed and the cabinets look all nice and finished out now!

Last pieces of trim for the bathroom ceiling.  Hung a couple of pics too.
