Re: My Big Fat Renovation

The wife and I were out of town for a few days, but I got back to it today. We had some Lowe's cards we needed to use up (if you spend X, get X off) so we bought some more trim and a few other things.

It's hard to find straight pieces. The way they lean them up against the wall, they get a severe bow at the top, making the top two feet useless... stupid...

I also changed my design. After some research and checking out a friends house, 6" between the squares was going to be way too much, so I cut it down to 3" which matches the gap I was using between the top and chair rail and the bottom and the base board. I like it a lot better.

Now I have to pull it all down, fix the walls, then put it all back up permanently with trim nails and construction glue.
