I did some work this month (not much), but was rather lazy about keeping track. The good news is, the end is truly in sight. Anyway, here’s a summary.
Stairs: Painted the underside white, polyurethaned the stairs and banister pieces, then attempted to read the assembly directions. I have to say, I was really disappointed by Houseworks this time. First of all, the directions are impractical (i.e., glue all the flimsy little spindles to the stairs, somehow managing to space them exactly right, then fit the banister on top of the spindles without snapping them off…) Second, some made no sense at all. I probably can’t explain how confusing they are without being very confusing myself, so let’s just say, as someone who considers herself to have a relatively good handle on the English language, I was utterly befuddled.
