Today was supposed to be my first day back at work after the Christmas Holiday break, but Navistar decided that everyone needed to stay home, so they told us this was a manditory vacation day. So I got to stay home while Kathi went to work. I promised Kathi that I would put up the baseboard in the living room over the Christmas Break, so I started on that project today. I know, it is kind of late, but it seemed like the rest of the break was just packed with other things.
So I measured, and measured again, and then cut. I only messed up one or two cuts, and that's not bad for my first try. I've never done anything like this, so I'm just happy I didn't mess everything up. After several hours of measuring and cutting, I took all the boards upstairs and made sure they fit. After a few more cuts, everything seemed perfect, so I painted all the boards. Now I'm waiting for them to dry so that I can put on another coat. I think I should have them all installed tomorrow, then after a little putty and touchup paint, I should be finished.
Doesn't sound much like a vacation, but oh well. That's life.
