A Bit Of Touching Up

Over the past few days I have been touching up the cupboards, baseboards, window and door trim. Some things I didn't do and knew I'd get to them when I finished the cupboard doors. So here is a shot of what it looks like now. I think I'm done, maybe a little bit of paint here and there to clean up some areas. After the "Boss" takes a look I'll have a better idea where I stand, I know she likes what she sees so far.

They Fit Like A Glove

The cupboards over the tub fit like a glove, after screwing them in and a little adjustment to the door hardware, I only have to clean up the edges. To make them seamless all I need is a little paint and the same for the last few pieces of baseboard I put in a few weeks ago and this room is done. I couldn't get both in the picture for the front on view, there wasn't enough room.

They are in and almost invisible.

A nice fit.

They need only a little touch up and that's it.

European hinges and spring loaded catch.

Bathroom Cupboards

Over the past few days I have been working on the bathroom cupboards, the face frame went on OK so I worked on the doors. Once they were cut to size I ironed on the edge banding and gave them a bit of paint, then tried to fit them. I did say "tried", because they were a little large, so after a bit of sanding and a little more, and a after iroing on a couple of side with new edges, they received a fresh coat of paint and that was it. I picked up the hardware for the doors, European hinges and a spring loaded holder. We don't want handles and they won't really be access every daily. The left door hinges went on well and with a few adjustments it was done. The right one went on just as well except, when I removed some of the box in one corner to what I thought would make it fit better, it made the frame crooked. So to the table saw I went, squared it up by cutting off the frame, cleaning up the edge and re-attaching the frame, properly. Then the door went in square, after a bit of sanding it was done and now the touch up painting begins before I take them out and install them.

The doors drying.

Everything in place.

They pop open nicely and now for the paint.

There's Always Something To Do

With the lions share of the reno done, at least what I can do for now, it`s back to completing some of the other jobs that didn`t get done earlier. This job is to build the doors for the cupboards over the tub. I have to make the frames and then the doors. The doors will fit flush with the low profile frames and as you can see everything will be painted the same colour as the walls to try and hide them a bit. We don't`what them to jump out at us, after all they are only cupboards.

The frames will have mitered corners and
attached with biscuits and glue.

The right side has a little bump out because of the
exhaust hose from the bathroom fan.
