Red Neck or Not

Little things happen when you are in the building process. With the right tools they are easy to fix. The first fix of the day was done with a real tool and the second one is definitely red neck.

The missing wood from the entry way ceiling wood had to be shaped by my ever amazing husband. He used a stationary sander to get just the right shape for each of the filler pieces of wood we needed.

 The trim boards for the entry ceiling need to be bent along the curve. So we measured what the curve needed to be and built an apparatus to bend the wood just right. We measured the height of the wall at the corners and the middle of the curve and that gives  the degree of bend we need. We used the grandkids trike that has a flatbed trailer and added a booster seat for one end. On the other end we used a game box then our girl's 30 year old Play Doh picnic basket with wood stacked on it to get the height we needed.  Then we added a packing box filled with liquor bottles and a diesel can to add weight to the middle to slowly get the bend we need. The wood  bends nice and slow because the weight isn't so much that it forces it into an immediate bend, easy does it. It just takes time. No rush .
