Nailed


Back in July my brother-in-law helped me (translation: I nodded and moved stuff around while he did everything) put in hardwood floors. I thought we were almost done. Now it's October and I'm still working on the fargin floors.

I know that nobody cares about other people's home improvement projects, so I'll keep this brief. I'm finally done nailing in the 1/4 round molding. That part really sucked, mainly b/c I suck at hammering in nails.

And really, does it get any simpler than using a hammer to nail things to other things? It's pretty much the most basic part of using tools. And I suck at it. It took me 14 nails (see the pile above) to attach a few pieces of this molding. I was sweating like a pig and bending nails like I was The One.

But I'm done. And now I just have to paint and caulk everything. And try not to say 'caulk' to while making eye contact with anyone.
