puttin on the ritz
Another weekend gone, more progress logged. This weekend brought the addition of two lovely sets of window trim, a little paint and a bit more trim on the walls.
The downstairs windows are starting to look good now that we don't see raw brick and everything is mostly lined up. The raw brick idea would be nice, but we have to keep reminding ourselves that exposed brick isn't worth the work. Maybe once we hit the lottery, but not now. The trim went up easily with the new Craftsman chop saw (note to selves, get the Rigid one next time) and an air nailer from Mark's folks. Some of the bricks resisted the idea of being nailed and made neat little nail mushrooms, but in the end brute force prevailed. Stay tuned for the "help, the window fell out of the broken bricks" blog entry in the future.
We put up a trail piece of crown moulding upstairs and it makes a huge difference in helping the goofball ceiling look straight.
Earlier this week Mark spent a less than lovely day in the crawl space cleaning out mystery crap and starting the insulation of the ducts. Someday soon he'll misbehave and be banished back to teh crawl space to finish the project. The only plus is that the weather has been cold enough that there were no aparent creepy crawlies in the crawl space.
