Not a lot of things got done this weekend. In fact, I didn’t do anything yesterday. I got a pneumatic nailer and cleaned up the chair rail, built a small trim holder in the garage, and painted/sanded trim a few times. Christopher stopped by and showed me how the nailer works and I got a 25′ straight hose to use with the compressor. He also told me how to install the chair rail with a level.
Yesterday was not good. I got up early and went to get groceries and some air compressor accessories that Christopher recommended. I got a 10 gal tank and many quick connects. But the 10 gal cheap tank doesn’t have the right connections, at all. And I couldn’t unscrew it and I started rounding off the nut. To say, I was pissed would be an understatement. I set it to the side, but lots of other little things kept going wrong. To keep from ruining my projects I decided to do something else. When something little and annoying goes wrong every 20 minutes I can take a hint.
I checked on the flooring Sat., because I didn’t get a call. The computer showed that it was shipped on 3/7. So, any day now. The window sills are done and just need to be nailed down.
Christopher pointed out the problem of leaving the vinyl tile in place in the closets and causing a height difference in the floor. I think we’ll just put in the right amount of plastic under the floor and add or not add plastic in the closets. Two layers of vinyl and a small surface area. I think I can get away with it. We’ll see on Sat.
And he told me what saw to buy to cut the door frames near the floor. About the carpet to remove and how to prep the floor. I’m a little concerned that we might have to shave the bottom of the doors. The bamboo is tall. We’ll see.
