I had a good,long night's sleep for a change and I'm just going to motor thru the various daily chores at my pace, without stressing about the list of things that need doing.
I hope you're having a good day too,BRENDA.

I did. Got a couple of good arm stretches in on my right shoulder, over my head. Listened to some music as well.

My friend's dad came over late in the afternoon yesterday and we got the last of the jambs up before casing both doors and one of the windows. At this point I could do the rest on my own but I'm happy that he's coming back on Thursday because doing trim is much easier with 4 hands instead of 2.
We were going to be short one painted casing because one of the ones that I had painted was warped and we used that for the tops of the doors. That's okay. I did an inventory of what I had unpainted in my basement and it turns out I have 5 extra pieces for what I need to finish in the porch and on the 1st floor, leaving me some extra if I decide I want to put the wide trim on the inside of the bathroom door even though I can't put the wide trim on the window in there because it's so close to the shower.
Rather than just paint one casing, I brought out 9 more of the 7'6" casings, all three of the 10' casings I have plans for on the 1st floor, the last 12' piece of baseboard and 3 pieces of quarter round trim and painted the 1st coat on all of them. In about an hour or two I'll put the finish coat on them. That's a huge head start on the 1st floor work I want to get done this winter. That's exactly the amount I need right now, but I had no more space to paint any more casings. I do have the 5 backups that I'd need to paint if any mistakes are made, but that's fine.
I just spray foam insulated the final window now. I'll cut out the excess and insulate what I couldn't with the foam tomorrow and probably install all of the baseboard. I have a particular way that I do it that is rather time consuming and my friend's dad wouldn't have the patience for it. But with proper coping saw cuts and 22.5 degree scarf joints it's going to look like all of those pieces of wood grew like that when I'm done.

My brain got a little mixed up this afternoon. Looked at an appointment slip and thought the person who wrote did it wrong. Then when I turned on my computer and looked at the date suddenly realized that the appointment is right. Just my brain had a glitch in it. *sigh* I hate that.

Like I said SIX, the guy who played "Silas Sharrow" in Jamestown is "Miss Scarelet's" foil as you put it. And does he ever clean up good.

Yet another political thread. Jeesh.

Got the final coat on everything I had out there and I'm calling it a day.
Tomorrow I'm just going to throw the remaining 5 casings into the mix and get all of my inventory painted to be done with it.
I'd like the baseboard installed in between as well as finish the insulation on the small window.
I might also paint the inside of the porch door we installed last fall. I don't have any exterior paint though, so because I don't have a car that's probably going to have to wait another winter. It held up just fine last year. No big deal.
