The smaller window, over the kitchen
sink, didn't have room for the full effect of our trim. It only got
one piece of casing. The bigger window had plenty of room, so it got
the two-piece casing treatment. It takes longer to do, but looks
really
sharp.

As soon as the casing
was up, the window got taped and
painted.

Jen
couldn't stand the plastic closet doors, so getting the originals up
once the paint dried was a priority. Not only did the doors go back
up, but I finally installed the necessary closet trim at the
top of the doors. Since first installing them, we had the steel
roller mechanism exposed above the doors. Now it's
covered.

Looks pretty nice if I do say so
myself.

The
closet doors were another special situation where we couldn't
fit the full effect of our trim. Jen says it's obvious to that the
door has more trim then the closets, but I don't really see it.
Or maybe don't
really care.

What
did the dogs do while all this was goind on? My parents dog Daisy
slept in my Mom's suitcase
mostly.

Gretchen spent some time out on the deck. She
was still recovering from her "fixing", so we spent a lot of time
protecting our work from her cone.

 |
CJ
spent his time lying about in various places. One of those places
must have been next to some wet paint.

Oct. 27th, 2008 my Dad was back for more work.
After getting new windows(here and here), we needed more stools (i.e. window sills) routed.
Unfortunately my Dad forgot his router, so I bought one with a table
and he went to work matching and routing the edge as he had
before.
|
 |
But the new windows
were installed a little differently then the ones we had installed
in the kitchen. The piece the black arrow is pointing to
(a
stool of sorts) wasn't installed with the windows in the
kitchen. Because the bedroom windows had it, it created less room
for our
handcrafted stools and risked overlapping the
window opening as the red arrow (sort of) points out.
