It’s a new room!

It’s been a while since the last update so it was time to get back at it.

The upstairs is essentially finished. There’s still caulking all the trim, but you have to be in the right mood to caulk. There’s also the back bedroom ceiling fan and front bedroom closet door. It took pretty much a whole weekend to finish up the trim. This was all the ceiling to wall trim which means that there’s a lot of work on the ladder near the peak of the cabin. Did I mention that I don’t really like ladders? Being at the top of a tall ladder that’s sitting at the top of a stairway is the worst. Not only is it a long way down to the bottom of the stairs, but it cramped and hot. I’m really glad that’s done.

With the trim complete, it means no more cutting, which means we can finally clean up the front bedroom. It’s been a construction zone for so long it’s quite amazing to see it cleaned out and almost ready for furniture.
