with the dreadful weather outside, karen and i decided to work on the house. it's been quite a while since either karen or i worked on the house. before my son (braden michael) was born, i had cut a bunch of molding to fit our windows on the second floor. i had pre-stained them, stained them, applied polyurethane twice... i just never got around to waxing them because braden was born. yes, i suck at installing molding.
the molding sat unfinished in the garage for quite some time. so saturday, in our quest for normalcy, we attempted to install some molding and add curtains to the windows in the hallway... to at least finish what we started.
(pictured below are the two windows in the hallway that now have molding and curtains on them.)
karen, of course, thinks i'm crazy because i wanted to manually install the molding with a hammer and nail... and not use a nail gun. i have nothing against nail guns. i love nail guns because they make projects easier. i simply felt that things were sturdier back in the day when people used hammers and nails... a true sign that i am getting old because i used the term "back in the day".
plus, because i'm ridiculously anal... the windows in our bedroom were installed with a hammer, so i wanted to make things uniform...
anyway, we still have more windows to finish on the second floor, but at least our house looks more and more like a home...
