Default What I've been up to

It sounds like your mobile home remodel is coming right along. These
things always take time. I began remodeling my old mobile home over
three years ago and still haven't finished everything. Just keep
thinking of how nice everything will be and how you can say that you
did it yourselves!

I have spent the past three days custom designing and installing trim
around the triple windows in my bedroom. I replaced the windows last
summer, but ran out of good weather before I could figure out how to
do the interior trim. I plan to prime the trim tomorrow, if it does
not rain. Then I am installing an eight-foot long bookshelf (of mdf)
over the window. Eventually, I will make a small cabinet (tv stand/
shelf/clothes hamper) to sit under the windows on the right. My bed
is centered under the windows. On the left, I will design a small
chest of drawers to hold linens, with a set of deep shelves above
running up to the ceiling. This will have a custom "bed wall"
effect.

Three of my feline QIs live in my bedroom and have become "CI"s
(Construction Inspectors) lately. They're very good at getting under
foot, finding nails I dropped, sniffing the caulk around the windows,
and other helpful tasks
