Finally... it's finished

We have been working on putting up crown and chair rail all downstairs for the last six months. (Will someone please remind us to not take on such an ambitious project on our first attempt at something??!!!) The boys helped measure and cut the nail strips for the crown, which was a good project for them. Brian did the cutting and installing and did a great job. I got the finish work-caulk, spackle, paint. This is one of those projects that never ends.....paint...paint again....measure...cut...measure... cut just a hair more off... nail.. spackle...caulk...clean....final coat of paint. And that is just on the pieces you manage to cut right the first two times!!!

Brandon must have been taking pictures, since I can't find any of him!

Now onto something else.... it just can't involve a ladder. (I'm tired of ladders!:-))
