Tremendous = Trim-endless

Totally non-eventful cottage weekend. I just picked up where I left off last weekend to keep working on the door casing and baseboard trim. Starting at around 5:30 pm on Friday and finished up around 12:30 pm on Sunday, I think I put in about 25 hours... boring.

Anyway, I finished all the windows and most of the doors, not including some of the insides of the closets. Plus, all the trim in the bathrooms is done.

Here's a photo of the kitchen slider, looking good. Just need to add some 1/4/round trim at the base.

It's one thing to have the doors hung, it's another thing to have working door knobs with locks. I wanted to at least get our bedroom door completely painted and knob/lock installed... One down, NINE to go!

Master bedroom door - done!

Early Saturday evening, I finished up the attic access trim and drop panel in the ceiling of the utility room/closet. This is one of those projects that no-one cares about at all (including me) but had to be done.

The last task late on Saturday night (probably technically Sunday morning) was installing the bi-fold closet/utility room doors. Really wasn't sure how these would turn out, but I am happy with the results. Nice to be able to shut the doors to hide all the utility room stuff going on.

Sunday morning, it was time for the master bedroom bi-fold closet door. This was the last remaining interior door in the cottage. Now, I just have to paint them all - ugh.

It was very windy on the ferry ride home later Sunday afternoon. There were rumors that the ferry would not be running on full schedule due to the wind conditions. Anyway, I made it to Marblehead at 4:30 pm...

Rough seas

Next weekend, the family is coming up to join me for the first time this season. So I am excited about spending some island time with them and want to show them all the latest progress!
