This weekend we focused on the gym, Ryan only had Saturday off, having to work Sunday.  Saturday we got started with the baseboards, making the main part out of the poplar we have.  Then following it with a cap piece we bought at a millwork place in Brookline.

First corner finished

Baseboard installed all around

Baseboard finished!

All finished!

While Ryan finished up the baseboard I went around and primed all our touchups on the wall and ceiling and then caulked the baseboards.  Finally Ryan installed the two side pieces of trim for the gym door, not having time to put the top piece and corners on yet before we broke for dinner and to relax.

Sunday while Ryan worked I did a few projects.  First I sanded the baseboards and the window trim.  Then I cleaned the room really well before starting to paint.  I started with a coat of paint on the crown molding and window trim (final coat on the window trim).  Then I primed the baseboards.

After finishing up the painting I started on the door, I’m stripping it down to refinish.  I got a good start on the first side before dinner time.  Now we’re relaxing while watching Les Miserables 25th anniversary performance on WGBH – it’s awesome!
