Scary Cabin

This weekend was about details. Nothing really big was accomplished but a lot of little items were either finished or started. For example, we finally got around to installing the toe kick trim in the kitchen and bathroom. The bedroom door now has a door handle. The final piece of baseboard was installed in the bathroom. We managed to get three windows fully trimmed before running out of trim boards.

Genny spent a lot of time painting trim board and filling holes in the ceiling beams. The beams are now one step closer to getting painted.

Bob spent a lot of time on the stair rail base. For some reason the angles needed for most of the railing base are ~41 ° It still needs the top piece and a bit more work before it’s finished but it is starting to looked finished.

On a side note, we may have finally figured out the remote for the fireplace. It actually ran for 12 hours holding a constant temperature. The key may be that you have to set the mode only when the fireplace is in standby. If you switch modes while it has flames, it seems to behave somewhat randomly. When it’s cold, the first thing we do is turn it on maximum. So if after turning it on, we then put it in standby and then set the mode, maybe it will work. We still need some time to experiment with it.
