Project # in dining room




Yesterday, I went to Lowe to get the stairs casing. My next project is to add the crowning in the dining room. So, here I am having all the materials that I need to get my project done. I got three 10 foot long and one 8 foot long crowning. The saw, nails, glues gun, stub censor, etc. I started one side of the wall last night with the help from Fred, holding the 10 foot long crowning for me. I put the glue and put some nails to hold the crowning. The hardest thing is to get the edge put together, since I don't have any tool to cut the angels. I am kind of guessing how much I need to cut for the angel. Well, I think I did okay. This morning, I decided to finish the rest of the dining room. It gets easier and faster especially after I know how much angle I should cut. If I didn't cut the angles quite right, I just used the cualking to fill up the gaps. Not bad. Not to mention that, I got two little helpers to hold the crowning and passed me the tools. It is an easy project for me to do and it only takes 2-3 hours to put up the crowning. I need to paint them later. Ah, By the way, Kayley tried to help me to take pictures (before and after), then she accidentally dropped the camera. Usually, it didn't break the camera, but this time, I guess the lens went down the ground first. When I turned the camera on, I got the lense error. When Fred came home from work and told him the camera was broken, he said well it was time to get a new one anyway. I guess we are going to get a new and better one soon. Good thing I have the videocam that I still can take pictures. Hey! Don't forget to check out the before and after pictures :) The next project will be painting.. HMmm, what color are we going to pick for dining room???
