Figured I should make an update just to check in and say, "Hey, we're still doing this thing."
That said, there are no pictures. You wouldn't want any. Trust me.
So here's the short list of what we've done since the last update:
(This was harder than you might think, mostly due to some stupid, stupid drywall edges and - of course - non-plumb/non-level framing/drywalling and general asshattery.)
(I'm so freaking SICK of painting a coat of white paint on a coat of white paint. Holy crap does that suck. And that's also why there are no pictures. Trust me, it's so boring, I can't even describe how bad the pictures would be without falling asleep. Oh, I will post one picture; getting the paint into those top four narrow shelves was an absolute bitch until I saw this pretty little number at the paint store:
Cute as the dickens, and SO amazingly useful - not just for the shelves, but also for getting the side of the trim when it's too close to the wall for a normal brush.)
(I suppose I could have taken a picture of the baseboards, but I haven't finished installing all of them because we have to put the vertical trim up around the closet first, and can't do that until we put the horizontal trim across the top of the closet, and can't do that because it needs to be trimmed down first and I can't do that because I left the dado blade in the table saw and put it away around the corner in the laundry room so I'd have room to install the baseboards and I don't feel like lugging it back into the office and changing the blade over when I'll probably have to put the dado back on anyway to do the trim around the workshop door - if we ever get THAT installed...
Anyway, I'll take a photo when they're done, mmkay?)
Uh.... I think that's about it... Oh, we also mowed the lawn, got our fridge fixed, watched parts of the three games the Jays lost to the Indians, ruled out one of the places we were thinking of getting hitched, and made an excellent mac'n'cheese with some of the old cheddar the Top Brass brought last week. But nobody cares about any of that except us. So... yeah. Pretty full weekend.

Asshattery...nice one! Right up there with Signtastic.
You know, you could just cut the handle off a paintbrush! I've done that a whole bunch of times.
Yeah, but mutilated paintbrushes aren't nearly as cute!
Besides, that one has a nice rubber handle, which doesn't leave big gouges in the paint when you accidentally scrape it along the opposite side of the shelf...
