I’m more a rough in carpenter. I worked for a few years as a concrete form carpenter, where close was good enough. I don’t mind doing interior work, but I hate doing the finishing mouldings ! I’ve been putting off doing the ones in my bathroom, finally started on them yesterday. Hard to make stuff fit on a old house where nothing is square! I’ll probably end up using some tinted wood putty , like bondo for wood LOL, to match up the corner gaps. You know what they say, I cut it three times and it’s still too short! That’s they way my angles work out, cut them several times and they still won’t meet up. Frustrating!:eek:

Excellent work Lowbud!

Thanks!!
Got lots done today. Not all I wanted to but a fare amount.

I got the slider door hung for the bathroom. Also got the ceiling and the can light in above the washer and dryer. I removed the old washer box and dryer vent in the hallway, then started the patchwork there. Removed the sink from the bathroom and started patching there. Then I assembled a cabinet to go in the place of the washer and dryer to house kits tous,games and art supplies. I just put the last coat of butcher board protector on my counter tops. Getting closer
