    Changing up the Entryway

    August 3, 2018 /

    With the heat continuing outdoors (humidity sucks) work continues indoors. When we painted the living room two weeks ago, we brought the same paint into the entryway since they are open to each other. We just painted the upper portion of the walls knowing we would get around to finishing it off sooner or later. No time like the present.

    Woodworking Tip to Prevent Splits

    December 28, 2013 /

    If you have a piece of wood that tends to split when nailing. Try dipping the end of the nail in paste wax or turn the nail over and tap the point with a hammer to dull it a bit.

    Woodworking Tip for Small Nails

    December 22, 2013 /

    Working with brads or small wire nails? It can be difficult to pick up these small fasteners, so I wrap a piece of magnetic weather striping around my left wrist (secure the ends with tape) and then drop some brads on the weather striping. This keeps them handy and ready to go!

    Between yesterday and today I spent about 10 hours installing the window trim, applying two coats of filler, drying overnight between coats.
