Re: Loose Ends, Your House
I started a 18 x 26' addition about 16 months ago. Got it dried in then the company I worked for folded. Lost a 60k a year job, a company truck and gas card, and other bennies too. Then to top it off, my wife lost her job at the local store when the owners retired and closed up.
Still stairing at the bones of the interior, thank god it got dried in Hopefully, we'll have a good year this year and get er done!

Re: Loose Ends, Your House
There's is no end in sight at my home. It's pre-1850 and it shows. I can't even decide where to begin.

Re: Loose Ends, Your House
I have all natural pine trim and for 12 years I still haven't filled all the nail holes. More recent, 4 years, I haven't put tops on the his/hers built in drawerbases in our walk in closet.
