Back to the Baseboards

We started our home renovation in 2006. Hmmmm? How long has it been? Construction is so expensive in Hawaii that we had the contractor build the outside of the house and Art planned to do the inside himself, just as he did on the mainland.

And yes, slowly but surely he's getting it done, but there's still a ways to go. Right now he's working on the baseboards.

First we have to go to Home Depot and pick out the BEST baseboard and quarter rounds.

It's a good thing that after the drywall was put up, I marked the walls so we'd know where the studs were. We did hire someone to do the drywall after we hug a couple by ourselves. We're not as young as we used to be.

Then Art had to measure, measure again and then cut the boards.

Once he pounded the boards in it was my job to use wood putty and caulk to seal the holes and spaces. Then I painted everything to finish it off.

The hallways are finally done!

Now we just have three bedrooms and two bathrooms to finish.  Ack!

I told Art I didn't want to go on anymore trips until this was done.

Uh oh! Gotta go. He said we need to go to Home Depot again.
