Beams going up

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

I’ve had a productive couple days as I wind up my “sabbatical”. 64″ of rabbits, 54″ of dados, a trip to TechShop and a lot of love for the Fein Multimaster (driving by Woodcraft almost daily is dangerous on the wallet)…the beams are slowly coming together. Given that I’ve got to work again starting tomorrow and we have guests coming into town this week it’ll probably be two weeks before they’re completely up.

And I’ve started the cabinet by tucking the cat5 behind the drywall and putting in the 2×4 frame for the base.

Panels all done

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

I’ve finally got the dining room panels all up. The final details sure can take a long time to finish not to mention recovering from various royal fubars along the way. And I miscalculated on molding and need to buy two feet of trim tomorrow after school. Otherwise I’m on to the ceiling faux beams and starting to frame in the built-in cabinet.

Next bit of panels up

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Yesterday I got (just) one more section up. I made a few mistakes which slowed me down. I’m trying to figure out what sort of molding to do to cap this section off as it meets the cabinet whic will fill the void where the chairs are in this picture (yes Darren, the table AND chairs are in the room). McCoy’s catalog didn’t have any interesting corner molding cap things. Need to flip through a few American Bungalow I guess.

Lessons (re)learned so far: turn off electricity before starting to move outlets not after, measure twice cut once, and that jig set yesterday for 3/4″ might’ve been reset to 1/2″ when you put it away that night.

First berry pi of the year

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

I just pulled our first berry pie of the year out of the oven. Made with the last of our strawberries and the first of red raspberries, black cap raspberries and marionberries (no blueberries yet). Yum.
