A Home to Improve

Sorry for not posting in o-so-long...oh wait...I'm the only one that reads this.
Than....I forgive you!

We have been busy bees with home improvement projects. I don't want to post them all at once though. 1. Some are not totally complete. 2. Others were totally screwed up and now need to be re-done. 3. I need more subjects to post about.

So today I'm going to post about the exciting subject of baseboards!
When we moved into our 1940's California Bungalow, the basboards were as old as the house. These 1 inch tall pieces of wood didn't do much for the house, and even sometimes highlighted the imperfections of the house. In som areas the baseboards didn't touch the wood floor! Yikes.

So a few weekends ago, my in-laws came up to LA and helped us take on this huge project. Jim is super handy with midder saw (which apparently you use for a project like this). For $250 we made our house look 50% better.

Check out some of the pics as our project took shape!
