Baseboard Fun

Since Mom and Dad were here visiting, we decided to put them to work and get some of our long awaiting projects done. We decided to replace our baseboard all over the house. It started with when we did the tile in our kitchen and entry way at the beginning of the year. We had to rip up the old baseboard and replace it. Kory found out at that time that our baseboard was not really baseboard but the casing that goes around our windows and door frames. So we put in taller, true baseboard on our lower level. It looked so nice we said to ourselves, "Someday maybe will will replace all of our baseboard." Well that "someday" came a lot sooner than planned. Mom did such a great job caulking, puttying, and painting the new baseboard, we knew we needed her expertise to do the rest. So Kory slowly began ripping out the old and putting in the new baseboard and when Mom got here we hurried and finished putting the new baseboard down almost throughout the entire house. Mom was able to finish it all and it looks fabulous!!! It was a lot of work, like all of our projects are, but worth it in the end. We are not completely done, still have a few closets and the office to do, "someday."

Our house was a mess as we had to move furniture, toys, closet stuff out away from the walls.
