Well into the night...

 ...I painted 22 pieces of 15 foot 5.25" trim and 11 pieces of regular trim at 12 feet each.

Very boring, as you can see:




Its done.




Now, painting the trim was basically easy.  But buying it and transporting it in a small SUV is no
easy task.  As I was loading it into the VX, I kept saying to myself, over and over, "this is so freakin'
stupid, this is never gonna work, this is so freakin' stupid..."

But, once again, with the help of a few ratchet straps, the VX prevailed!  Good thing I only had to go
4 miles and it was late and there was no traffic.  Anyway, this was hands-down the most ridiculous
load I have ever carried in my VehiCROSS.  There was an old guy standing in the parking lot watching
me load the boards in the truck.  He was like, "I dunno about that...". And then when I started to hoist
the tail end of the load up with the last strap, he was like, "hmmm, I guess that will work!"  LOL.





And a parting shot of the kitchen and family room ready for tile.

  4. Thanks dude, I may take you up on that, but I think the bulk of the hard labor is thankfully over. The trim deal was kinda last minute, in a way, and I guess I underestimated the length. Either way, its done and underway. The floors should be complete by tomorrow! Thanks again...
