Finishing Up

Today I set out to finish up some projects.  I managed to get a few of things done.  Got the trim down on the flooring finished in 3 out of 5 doors that needed it and the other two are cut out and ready to go but the concrete bit died so I need to buy another.  I am happy with it as it cleans up the doorways and looks pretty sharp.  I also trimmed out two doors downstairs.  The office and the train room both needed it.  I tried to do something different with it and ended up not liking it so much but I don't have the product to go back and fix it so we will leave it as it is.  I have a lot of silicone work to do on the baseboards and the door frames.  I also tried my hand at crown molding.  Um, that was not as easy as I thought it would be.  I ended up burning through a length of molding because I kept cutting it wrong.  I finally cleaned everything up and switched saws.  Success.  Holy smokes.  Unfortunately I was about 10 feet short so I couldn't finish.  I might be pulling some down to fix it a bit better.  This entire thing soaked up my day and I spent a lot more time on it than I wanted to.  It is nice to be getting the house projects done.  There will always be more but these are the ones I wanted done prior to school starting.  I am a bit late but we are getting there.
