So tired

It has been a long time since the last update but I have a good excuse, I was too tired to care.  With the onset of spring and the starting on the baby room I have been stretched a little thin.

Here is what has happened in the basement.  The office has been trimmed except for the north wall with the window because I still have yet to decide what to do about the window.  Option one is to replace with a new window and option two is to just install some glass block.  We have also moved into the office which has opened up the two upstairs room.  It's good because now I can get to work on the guest room and baby room, it's bad because now I have to work on the guest room and baby room.
Here is the office with trim:

I have also been a painting machine the last three weeks. It took a couple tries before I finally settled on a brand and sheen that I like (the four coats in the hallay will attest to that) but no everything is painted.

I have also started trimming out the rec room.  The carpet we ordered from Menards is available and I am trying to get the rec room ready for carpet this week because Menards has had the carpet for one week already and I am shortly anticipating a call saying "come pick up your damn carpet before we burn it!".

Here is the rec room as it looks now:

It turns out there is something cathartic about distilling about 30 hours of work to two paragraphs and three pictures.  It allows me to forget about the absolute nightmare that installing the doors in the rec room was or  the multiple dings and scratches I put in the wall installing those doors.  I also lets me forget about  the crack I discovered in the ceiling the other day as a result of missing some screws in a seam in the drywall (I blame my brothers:) and the ensuing problem of trying to fix it while matching the texture (spoiler alert, I can't do it).
