Been a busy weekend. Of course there was the holidy which ment I had lots of time. That got turned into venitan plaster, the trim on the doors is up, along with the picture rail and the top moulding. I still need to do the windows, and baseboards. the curtains are haning on temp 2 dollar cheepo curtain rods till I find ones I like. Since the walls are done, and 90% of the trim is done I was finally able to move into the room. 8^) It is awsome, even if there are some details to deal with. Like real light fixtures and a need to chop out the attic floor to install some ceiling insulation to keep the rooms warm till the attic is renovated and fully insulated / rewalled itself. So far despite all fo the hell that this one put me through it is starting to loko like the best project on the place so far. Ok, right up there with the lubmerjacking experinance of 2005. 8^) I liked that one because nothing gets rid of itself like firewood. 8^) Though you could not pay me to burn free pine in a fireplace and chimney owned by me. We even managed to hoset a small party this weekend in part to celebrate the near enough to completion to call it done bedroom project.. Also I needed to absinthe up my freinds. 8^) It was nice to see the looks on peoplese faces with this one when they got to see the new room in person. 8^) Next year when the radiant system is on line I will have the bonus of being able to tell them to take their shoes off and see their faces when they realize the floor is warm. 8^) This week, the copper stars are going up, next weekend I will be taking off from working on the house to have a life… In two weeks I hope to hang the new curtain rods, lights, and install the baseboards.. The windows are heavly covered with plastic.. The R value now is probably better than glass. So, I might leave them till spring at which time I am concidering just putting replacement windows in all of the holes. Something with low e glass and stuff. We will have to see as I spent plenty of quility time rebuilding the sashes already and would feel like kind of a dork if I did all that and didn’t use any of them.

I rill try to have pics tomarrow.
