Things Takes at Least 3 Times as Long as You Think

I’d given myself 1 day to sand the window trim on the final 3 windows to make them flush, flat and smooth, plus do the caulking and puttying, then painting 2 coats of primer, and 2 coats of final paint.  It took 3, maybe 4 days, but they’re are finally done, except for cutting and installing the shades.  I had to sand down 1/16th of an inch on at least six joints to get the casing flush (!).  That took awhile.

Anyway, I think they look smashing!

I may take the weekend off to paint paintings.  It’s been so long, but we’ll see…Got a bad case of get-it-done-itis.
