Basement!

Challenge: bring trim down the stairs into the basement.The Clarks are pretty much the coolest people ever. Not only did Chay install all of our trim, but April took the kids while he was doing it so that Jeff and I could go on a date. Love them!

A nail gun makes the job about a thousand times faster. Never again will I hold up crown moulding and fumble with a nail with one hand, while trying to hammer the nail in with the other hand. No. A nail gun is the way to go. Wish I'd learned that about four rooms ago.

Dremels are AWESOME. And dangerous.The smell of new carpet is so good.
We pulled the recliner out of storage. The kids had a blast rocking, putting the footrest out, putting it back in, etc. Okay, so Michael and Faith had a blast. Lauren would pretty much prefer to not be on it.
I think we're done with home improvement projects for a while - at least until the weather is warmer, when we have a fence to put in, a patio to build, grapes to plant....
