Painting and Trim

My friend Bob, with decades of construction experience, shared valuable insight.

Do your best, and caulk the rest

Also...

Caulk and paint make a carpenter what he aint

He also taught me the three phases of construction project management:

  1. The design phase
  2. The build phase
  3. The lawsuit phase

The prepainted real wood is more expensive, but I think it looks better.

Getting the trim corners "good enough" required a few trips back and forth to the chop saw.

Painting the bathroom side of the slot door completed the atmosphere, setting the room off from the rest of the house and creating a light, calm and uncluttered space.
