Well it seems that I am finally getting this shingles virus under control. I was able to help my son-in-law with some crown molding this weekend AND keep the pain under control, which is a major accomplishment for me since I came down with this stuff.
So, I am going to head up to Maine for a few weeks and see if I can shake the virus totally - fishing usually cures anything. But before I go, I thought I show you what I was able to get done in my new townhouse - well its new to me but it is 17 years old and a typical "bare minimums" finish type of construction. So I added a few custom touches - six inch base molding all around, added a back band on all door casings, trimmed the opening between the living room and dining room, put in some chair rail details and crown molding in the dining room. In the living room, which has a vaulted ceiling, I built a book case from material I brought from my prior home.
When I get back I need to finish the trim out on the first floor and get some cabinets made for the laundry and then attack my wife's office - built-ins and new trim, fireplace mantle.
By the way, these photo's have been made possible by the acquisition of a digital project documenter from Jim Becker - I have finally been able to get some time to play with it and it is great.
My net connection in Maine is a slow dial-up, but if I can, I'll sen off some pics of an eight pound bass I intend to catch (yea, right.)
