Crown molding has been installed and caulked. Still have to touch up some nail holes and seams but it is looking good. Started yesterday planning for laying the hardwood floor. The transistion strips between the tile and the hardwood are going to be a PIA (pain in the ass). They are designed to be held in place by a plastic channel that is attached to the floor and in which the wood strip snaps down into. Not a very good design for floors that are not dead level flat. I'm going to modify them and use countersunk trim screws to hold them down. I'll then use oak plugs to cover up the screw heads. I thought about using my air nailer to install them but don't think they will stay in place with just the nails. The strip is going to get a lot of traffic across it so it can't be popping up everytime you happen to step on it.
Debra continues to work on the french doors. She has them fairly well sanded and was working on the edge next to the glass yesterday. Next step will be to start applying a couple coats of Kilz primer and then the final semi-gloss white enamel.
