Baseboards, Baseboards Everywhere

I'm in heaven. Well, not really. It's loud and messy, but we're FINALLY getting our baseboards on!

We got possession of our house on May 15, moved in 3 weeks later, and 4 weeks ago we actually went and bought new baseboards. We were going to just paint the old ones and put them back on, but, as happens in Renos, when our basement garbage pile was being taken to the garbage (what a concept), almost all of the baseboards were taken with. So, we had to buy new ones - which I secretly (well, maybe not so secretly) wanted anyway. My mom came over one Sunday, and we painted them, waited for them to dry (which obviously doesn't take 3 weeks), and now they are finally in the process of being put on. Our house is actually starting to look like a real house! So exciting!!

Yesterday, between going to Rona to get all the stuff we needed, Andrew making a box to cut with that didn't work, going back to Rona to get a box that still hardly worked, Andrew cutting his thumb with an olfa knife, and going to pick our cousin up from the airport we didn't get much done. But, today - we have a miter saw that has made things go a lot faster.

Before I finish this entry you need to be able to appreciate it a little more. Andrew hates me blogging. He's asked me for help at least 6 times with things that he didn't REALLY need help with. He's bugged me to stop at least 3 times, and when I asked him the names of the tools (you didn't actually think I knew them, did you?) he told me to look it up myself. Yet, I don't feel guilty. Is that wrong? I enjoy blogging. And, I admit, at first it took up a lot of my time. But, I don't spend that much time at it anymore. I'm getting into the creative writing a lot faster than I though I could, and I browse a lot faster now too. Just thought you should know how much effort was put into this short little meaningless blog :)
