I’ll definitely be attempting some more versions of this idea in the future.

The whole vent hood area will be addressed soon and I’m really excited about the idea we have for that!.We exposed some wires and some random pink uglyness above the sink too, so we added in a nice thick piece of crown molding to give that part of the room a nice finished look..

I painted that whole area out in the same color as the rest of the walls in the room, but something still wasn’t quite right..There are always unforeseen gaps and weird angles when you’re working with old houses like this!Sometimes those gaps aren’t really a big deal, but sometimes they can just ruin the whole look of a room.. Chris cut this long skinny wedge to fit right into the gap.

Adhesive is perfect for a situation like this because any other form of fastening either wouldn’t have anywhere to hold on to, or would split the tiny piece of wood.We just spread a little bit on the edges of the wood with a piece of cardboard and popped it into place!.

I finished up with a nice bead of caulk over the whole area..

Instead of a weird dark gap, it’s looks nice and clean!-Took down the old ramp and set aside the wood for future use.. -Built the stairs and all the new railings out of the old ramp.. -Realized that the deck still felt too small because there was no way to fit a table and BBQ on it.. -Solved that problem!.

-Spent like $3 on everything.(Major exaggeration for effect.

But we mostly just had to buy deck screws, stain, and pretty decorations for fun.So not thousands like we would have spent otherwise to get this deck in working order.).
