STUCK UP

We are not good with a hammer, and you may quote me.  After hanging doors and some touch up, we decided we would not nail through our new wood trim but rather we'd glue it on so we didn't have hammer marks or nail holes to fill.  As you can see, Steve is putting glue on the first piece of door trim.  As I stood in the hallway hanging onto the trim so it didn't move a bit, I could hear the clicking of the caulking gun and a person saying, "I don't know what I'm doing wrong, the glue won't come out".  Being the eternal smart ass I suggested he read the directions.  After a cramped hand I heard him say "Oh, there we go, you can't keep pumping the thing".  DUH.   He got his glue on the trim and would ever so carefully bring it to it's final resting place for attachment.  And if you ever need to glue something that will never move again, we have the glue for you.  We are considering it as mandatory equipment in the buses.   We stuck on our trim, stood back and praised ourselves for a job well done.  So the doors won't open (kidding) but the trim looks nice.   Take a look.  Now we have about 400 feet of wood trim to paint as it didn't match the doors as we thought it would.  Take a look at the handy work below.  Move over Bob Vila, you're being replace by Starsky and NUT.
