Progress

The painting of the living room is done. Some touchup around the edges and painting of the crown molding is all that is left. Speaking of crown molding, did you ever try to cut it. I gave it a shot and after 6 cuts that weren't even close to what I was trying for, I went googling. I found 2 good primers with photos and successfully cut my first piece of crown molding. Fortunately I only have to negotiate 4 inside corners. Reading the explaination for cutting the angles to fit a sloped ceiling made my head hurt. The dining room ceiling is getting retrimmed out. This is a temporary fix because I have a vision for it but I have to find the pieces and parts. It will include reworking the lighting also. I also installed the new electrical outlets over the stairs because my cool LED night lights arrived. They worked perfectly this morning, meaning I got down the stairs without falling. I adjusted,(raised) the front door to clear the new flooring. I think I'll be ready to prep the floor Wednesday. After the floor, finishing the stairs. With luck the whole room remodel will be done in about 2 weeks and I can run up my credit card dept again buying new furniture.
