I Suck At Installing Molding

come to think of it, i forgot another thing... (i'm going to be in such rough shape when i become a senior citizen. i probably won't even remember who i am.)

anyway, last night i did some work on my bff's (kerry) room. well, i suppose it's kerry's room up until the baby comes... and once the baby is born, kerry may have to resort to the couch unless karen is really adamant about splitting the room in half, in which kerry's room will only be half its current size.

i've been working on installing the trim around the windows in kerry's room. unfortunately, like most home improvement projects... i suck at installing molding.

(pictured below are the new casings around the windows of kerry's room.)


i hate installing molding. both karen and i like the natural wood look (instead of paint). unfortunately, the natural wood look makes the process of installing molding that much longer because you have to sand the wood, pre-stain it, stain it, apply polyurethane to it... twice..., apply wax, and then nail the pieces in. it's definitely a long process, but it's worth it in the long run.

anyway, kerry's room is finished in terms of window molding. the room still has the base molding to go, but we'll see what happens with that as the molding depends partially on whether or not we decide to cut the room in half.

out of sheer laziness, i am leaning toward leaving the room as is. we'll see how that goes...
