Our neighbor Terry came over this morning, and he and Chris got to work on all the trim in our dining room/soon to be living room project. By 3:30, they had finished the baseboards, crown molding, fireplace mantel, door trim, flooring transitions, and re-hanging closet doors. Things certainly aren't finished yet - we need to caulk and paint just about everything! - but I think we're about 90% there. I can't wait to be able to use that room again!
While the men worked, the kids and I played. Amazingly, Lily took a three-hour nap, despite the din of construction. And Daisy took a great nap, even though Terry was chiseling away at wood in front of her bedroom door.
When Lily woke up, though, I couldn't keep her away from the construction. No matter where we went, and no matter how I tried to distract her, the girl always found her way back to the action.
It appears that Terry either has an admirer or an apprentice. Perhaps Lily is a little bit of both? It was pretty cute.
Wow, that looks really beautiful! Love the floors!!
