TRIMWORK

Friday after work we got to the house and found out that Mark and Wojcio were going to be coming over on Saturday to help out... so Tommy started working on the window stools for the first floor and I started painting crown molding for Mark to install and his dad worked on extention jambs for the first floor.... We then decided to go to Applebees for half price with his dad and we got a lot of food for cheap... we all went to sleep... Saturday morning I tried to get up earlier than Tom and his Dad and put another coat on the crown molding, but I only got 1 painted before they woke up... We needed some more material for the window stools so we had Wojcio pick it up on the way to the house... When Mark got there shortly after we gave him his job... put up the coiffered ceiling in the office... haha but that was not the original plan... I thought he was going to put up the crown in the master bedroom... guess not... anyway we discussed what we wanted and him and Wojcio went to work on it... Andre also came over... he helped tommy with the window stools... Tom's dad worked on some tightening up in the basement (secured the well pipes and the furnace flew better than they were)... and I painted all day... First I finished the crown, then did the extension jambs for the 1st floor, and then painted the "smaller" crown that we decided to use on the ceiling in the office.  tommy and andre got almost all the stools done and tom's dad started to install the extention jambs... Mark and Wojcio worked all day on the coiffered ceiling and it got finished by the end of the day... it looks really awesome!  There is a lot of caulking and puttying that I will need to do, but the look is soooo worth it... I love it!

 

Sunday Tom started to work on the TOP portion of the window moldings... he set up the planer and the table saw and started to rip, plane, and route the rest of the pieces... While he did that i put the extension jambs in the office... Then we started to build the tops... we decided to do them all on the bench instead of trying to piece them together above the window... We got one completely put together and one coat of paint on it... It looks great!  Then in the afternoon we went out to dinner with his family for Tom's birthday... tried two different red lobsters and both were 1.5-2 hour wait so we went to Longhorns which was pretty good.
