THROW DOWN THE GAUNTLET

 

 A challenge has been issued.

    Currently there is a PILE of window and door trim in the garage which was removed from the house last spring.  It requires a lot of attention before returning it to the house.

The pile on the far left is the door and window trim

When Donnie said we had our work cut out for us, part of what he meant was prepping this pile of trim.  According to him it might require hiring a skilled laborer 8 hours a day for a week to complete the task. We are not willing to spend those dollars, so I am determined to be that skilled laborer!

    After about 6 hours of, quite frankly, cheap entertainment, the pile had been whittled down from this...

 to this.

Nails cut, hardware removed, and sorted into colors (blue, gold, yellow, white, cream, and green), at least half of the wood is ready for the painters to scrape, sand, and prime before it goes back up.

I'm patting myself on the back but perhaps I should wait until the job is complete.

*Thank you Taylor for giving me some of your valuable time yesterday.  You were a big help and great company to boot!
