Finishing... finishing...
So today was kinda a bummer. I had to go over to meet the carpet people at the condo. The quote? $1247 for 525 sq ft. I think that's insane, personally. I am getting another quote tomorrow. Then after meeting her, I had to go back to the house to meet the plumber so we could work on the kitchen faucet. So I didn't get to work at the condo all day like I wanted to. BUT... we found out that the kitchen faucet is not working (leaking) because it is missing a part. I called Kohler and they are shipping it to me for free. Should be here next week. So I have to get that part, buy a slimmer nut for the water purifier spout, and try to find a longer stem for the sprayer. Pain. Thick countertops. They definitely limit you. They look good though.
So I FINALLY got over to the condo. Thomas helped me and we knocked out the baseboards. I caulked them too, using the caulking tricks that the painter taught us the other night. And I puttied the nail holes. All ready to paint tomorrow.
When I got home, I wanted to get the dryer working so I could FINALLY FINALLY do laundry. I took the old 4 prong cord out, and put in a 3 prong. VOILA! Laundry! Woo hooo!! I did two loads tonight before bed.
So... tomorrow.. finish touching up the baseboards. Buy another baseboard (we forgot to measure the closet so we need another 14 feet). Tape off all the trim, remove the doors, wipe down the trim with liquid sandpaper. Paint the trim. If you look at the last pic down there.. you will see that they didn't color match the trim very well. The original trim is more yellow. But too late now. Going to paint the trim the new color.. and the doors may be a shade off. We'll see how that looks and if it's too bad, I will have to paint the doors or get the painter to spray them.
Also have lunch with my old team from work at Chuy's!
This is the plug in the wall
This is the plug...
Notice a difference between the plug, and the wall outlet?
Baseboards are finished!
Looks sharp huh?
The finished look
Notice the difference in color between the baseboard to the rigth and the trim around the door frame. We'll see how this resolves.
