change of plans

Well, as usual, I'm pretty busy! I just changed the oil in my truck and I'm only posting while I'm waiting for it to drain back into the crankcase (changed the filter, too; you have to run it for a minute and then allow the oil to drain back down so you can top it off). Anyway, here's the change. We decided to stay in her house and sell mine, so I'm finishing up the projects I started to get it ready to put on the market. The living room (if I do say so myself) looks AWESOME!!! I put in wainscoting with a chair rail (called a "lip" for such applications) and now I'm doing the baseboard. I finished up the crown moulding yesterday and painted. This morning, I did a little repair work to the ceiling (I put in a beaded ceiling panel over the Christmas break and painted it antique white, but it had a couple of "dips" that had to be repaired, so I did that yesterday) and touched up the paint. It also looks pretty good (or, at the very least, a WHOLE lot better than the sheet rock ceiling that was in place when I bought the place!). Anyway, the "wow" factor upon entering my humble abode is a lot better than before, so I may be able to get my asking price without too much hassle. When I finish the base, I'm putting ceramic tile in the bathroom, along with a new sink base, wainscoting, chair rail, and baseboard. It ought to look pretty good, too, when I get done. Oh well, that's enough time for the oil to drain. Got to get back at it! - Dan
