Progress on Projects

 

Over last weekend Candy and I actually got a chance to work on the bedroom remodeling project of ours.  On Saturday, we got to staining.  We stained 3 interior doors and the trim, and we also stained over 140 feet of trim.  I hate to brag, but we did a good job.  As if that wasn’t enough, on Sunday, we got out there in the backyard and polyed all of that stained wood.  Thank goodness we have a big shed, or we’d be in trouble.  I am excited about remodeling the room.  I think the trim is going to look great once we get it all placed on some freshly painted walls.  I just need to take my time and do a GOOD job measuring so that when I actually make the miter cuts, I won’t have pieces that don’t match the walls.  I’ve done that before, and adding in pieces here and there just doesn’t look good.

I have started working on Candy’s photography site.  I have created a logo, I’ve made a layout, and I’ve scouted some nice WordPress plug-ins to make things as simple as possible for me to build, and her to maintain.  I have a hard time finding opportunities to code on on-the-side projects at home.  Things like that take time.  I suppose if I was charging for the site, I might be more motivated to get it done quickly.  Maybe I will have a few rainy weekends, and then I won’t mind staying indoors to work on the website.  Maybe I’m just used to having a  desk and dual monitors.  Whatever the case, I’m gonna’ get it done pretty soon because I want to see Candy’s photos online.  She does a great job on her photography, but I took the pictures of our boy Isaac in his Beastie Boys outfit!
