My Dad working on the fit of the sill for
the bigger window. This sill was nearly nine feet
long.
|
 |
After the first coat of
paint, Jen went around and caulked any gaps that may have been left
between the pieces of trim and the first coat of
paints.
|
 |
The
window sills were going to require some routing to make them look
nice, so my Dad brought up this old router he had.
|
 |
He'd never really used the router before. When
he pulled it out for the windows, he was surprised to see there was
a bit for cutting door hinges. Suddenly door hanging went a lot
faster, so fast they started stacking up at the prime and paint
area.
|
 |
Even
the "problem door" went up quickly. I call it the problem door
because I tried hanging it nearly a year ago. The hinges were
completely out of alignment (on the jam, not the ones I cut. Though
they were when I found out what I cut didn't match the jam.). I got
too frustrated with it and ran out time, so it sat for a year. Now
it's up.
You may also notice the door has casing around
it too.
|
 |
My
Mom painted the entire time. For four days she did nothing but paint
trim. I really don't know how she did
it.
|
 |
Jen was the jack of all trades. She
hopped from caulking, to nail hole filling, taping, priming doors
and painting trim.
|
 |
Here's my Dad setting up his jig to rout the big
window sill.
|
 |
The
routing was a two-part process. He had to cut the top side with one
bit, the bottom side with another, then sand the two cuts together
for a nice clean finish.
|
 |
As before, with the sill
installed, the casing went up quickly.
