Home Office Project, Day 5
December 19, 2004 on 9:55 pm | In Main |Yes, as you can tell by the title, there isn’t much new here, and yes, I am excited about my new desk area.
I thought my desk would be in use by now, but I decided it would be better if the glue I used on the molding dried overnight. The crown molding was a real challenge. I thought I could just hold the molding the way would be installed, and then just cut a 45 degree angle. After that didn’t work, I read the manual that came with the mitre saw, and figured out the correct way to make the cut. Only I used the wrong side as the bottom, and all of the cuts still came out wrong. I was close to tossing the crown molding, when I realized I could just put in a patch piece to make up for the lost length from the wrong cuts.
The only tasks remaining are to attach the last pieces of the crown molding, attach the knobs on the drawers and doors, and patch up all the holes I made with wood filler. That’s about a days worth of work, but I might spread it out over the next few days.
We are having beautiful weather here, and I did take advantage of it by taking Sean and Ethan to the park after lunch. We actually went to both parks near our house, and did quite a bit of walking as well. I enjoyed the fresh air, and Sean and Ethan had fun playing.
