Home Again, part 2

Yesterday, we did a good job catching up after a week away, including the typical fish tank chores, grocery shopping and laundry. Kevin hung Christmas lights (on the mossy, wet roof, in the dark – I asked if he wanted my safety-concious opinion of that and he declined), I did yard work.

And we both finally, finally hung the last of the trim.



Yay! Pre-drilling the boards and then hammering in the nails by hand turned out to be much neater than using the nail gun. We're still not sure if we should have turned the pressure down or if nail guns just don't work well with MDF, but these nail holes were nearly invisible. And I am so, so excited about the end result – it's so proportional and beautiful.

I did another round of caulk, to finish up the work for the day, and Kevin cooked dinner. It's good to be home.
