Thank you sir- It was nice to get a few moments at my vise - I'm struggling to find time to tie this winter. We had our house resided in October, at the same time the contractor replaced 27 windows with new construction upgrades. Some of them required reframing. It looks great, our home is noticeably warmer. The trouble is the new windows are slightly taller and wider than the old windows so none of the interior trim could be saved. I am trimming them out while my wife paints and hey as long as I'm pretending to be a finish carpenter we decided to add crown molding to each room as we go. I'm enjoying the project but not being a professional I'm slow. For me it's more like measure six times and cut once. There's also the small matter of building new front stairs before spring 😦... I'm pushing to get it all done before better weather calls me to the river. Way off topic but I know you are a "do it yourself" guy too. When it's all done I'll post before and after photos in the lodge section. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
