Day Eight

Things have slowed down a bit as we wait for the carpet estimate. They're in no hurry for business, apparently, as we requested an estimate on Wednesday and the earliest he could come give us one is Tuesday. I guess Lowe's is doing better than they look by the empty parking lots at 10am Saturday mornings.

Today I cut and placed the baseboard around the new wall and the quarter round. It's not perfect, but that's also the first time I've done that. We also got the rest of the paint up-- touching up the brown and putting up a second coat of the "Bermuda Sand." The painting is almost done. The baseboards still need paint, and the outside of the new half-wall needs paint, then that's all done. There's not a lot more I can do until after the carpet is installed, so things will continue to be slow for the next few days, I think.
