Slow.... Do you ever feel like you work so hard yet you get nothing accomplished. I've felt like that this past week and weekend. This week i did finish the master bedroom floor, but right now it's been all about filling in the edges where there are gaps to big for a baseboard to cover. Unfortunately this takes a whole lot of time because it requires cutting long pieces of floor board as straight as you can.
I'm not a professional, i don't have all the tools and benches, so i do the best i can. It's funny though how an old house has changed so much. For one, the walls aren't straight, so pieces that are pretty straight don't always fit properly because the wall isn't exactly straight.
Yesterday though, i was trying to finish the last row in the hallway, which goes into not one but two closets. I've called this spot, the asshole piece. I've been trying to plan how i'm going to get these two last pieces in because there are corners and two doors to worry about. I've already wrecked one board trying to hammer it into place. So now it's back to the drawing board. This piece may need to be cut in half to fit it correctly. The other problem is is fitting the end piece in, because it also has to go into the closet too! SO FRUSTRATING. And head scratching. We'll see how it goes today, for round two.
