Last one to post in this thread wins!
morning fellers
its been a productive day
i dont know if i mentioned it, but i had made a "secret door" between my babies room (who sleeps on the second level of the house) and the loft in my middle girls room (who sleeps on the ground floor, but the loft is almost level with her sisters room)
well i had it mostly done, for months now, except for the trim around the frame on the loft side
since the wall wasnt 100% smooth, and the planking inside was between 1/8 and 5/16 of an inch too short, so to speak, i had to take a router to the back of each trim piece and remove enough material that i created an overlap on the trim to cover that gap
i had started one piece months ago, and kinda got side tracked
now, i dont know if you guys do this, but i have a "scrap wood bin"
its great for fire starterts and the kids now they can use that wood for whatever catches their fancy
wouldnt you know it, i had the piece i was working on laying on there, face down, so i could router the back
so yesterday the girls asked if they could grab a piece of wood and paint on it...ill give you three guesses what piece they grabbed, but im pretty sure you'd only need one
of course, i cant be mad at em, they got the wood from where they are allowed to grab it from
but it did light a fire under me, so i finally finished it up today
all that is left is a litte sanding to make it all nice and even, and then a bead of caulk to hide the (much smaller) gap that still exist between the trim and the wall
but you always end up paying more then you though
