Upside Down And Backwards

Mom says that anyone who has put up crown molding knows that to cut it, you must put it "upside down and backwards".

But that still didn't stop mom from making a right inside corner cut instead of a left inside corner cut. Sigh.
It's okay, mom has plenty of space to put up another piece of crown molding. This piece is 16 feet long. You should have seen mom getting it into the cellar to cut, and then out again.


So I guess mom is going to be painting that later today. After her and PlusOne's Step Exam in karate. PlusOne is going for his second stripe. Mom is going for her fourth. In 30 weeks, mom will be going for her 2nd degree black belt. Wow! Time sure does fly when you're having fun. Or rather, when your mom is having fun. Me, I want some more carrots and potatoes.

Dad tells me he remembers putting up crown molding and that he doesn't want to talk about it anymore, so it must have been tricky for him too.

Also "fun," he says, is trying to put crown molding on bullnose corners. But you don't have any of those, apparently. See? It could be worse! :)

Mom wants to know why you didn't paint it first.

But she is still impressed with the crown molding.

Oh that is wonderful of your Mom. She is quite talented. We'd still have an empty room...

It doesn't matter what's going on up there...just what's going on near pug feets and noses where a pug can reach treats!
