banned
Thanks to my over-protective husband and worrying father I have been banned from the circular saw. And I didn't even cut anything off! I did not injure anyone or anything - in fact I made a perfect miter joint on my 5 1/2" base that didn't fit in the chop saw. And I finished the office trim. And it looks really nice. And I've used a table saw, chop saw, saws-all, and I passed shop class. But I still got banned. Worriers.

It's the cabinet cut list for my kitchen. Art got it all written up and I put it on a pretty spreadsheet last night - it was a romantic spreadsheet making moment. It's getting cut this week and we're starting the rebuild - I can hardly stand the excitement! | Dr. Bank | 25.5 x 30.5 x 24 | ST-2 [23.5 x 30.5] | SH-2 [23.5 x 24] | BK-1 [24 x 30.5] |

All By Myself...
Yesterday Art worked on framing out the final column and building the pony wall. Now, I can assist in this. I actually built the smaller beam; however, two people working within the same 12" space is a little much.
On top of that I have finally figured out a way to attack the "remains of the wallpaper"... I actually got all the wallpaper off (do you hear the angels singing Hallelujah? Cause they are...) However, when I went to take off the teddy bear border, what minuscule parts I could find to peel off, it pulled beyond the wallpaper, and glue and took of the paper layer of the drywall - Kind of a problem. So I figured out this grand plan to solve the issue with chair rail and trim. On Thursday I got all the tools out, all my stuff ready - and then determined I wasn't exactly sure how to fire up the compressor, annnnd I knew the stress that would occur if I broke a tool. So, I stopped and I waited until an expert could be consulted. Thank heavens I married an expert. Yesterday he gave me a little tool instruction, some tips on process, and a lesson on scarf joints - and Wa laaa - I did it. Ok, most of it, I still need to add all the vertical pieces, paint, and then add the lower runners and the base - but I can do it, and I already did most of it all by myself.
