Plinths

As the trim continues...an interesting word arises in our vocabulary...Plinths! Some of you out there are familiar with the word, some may be running to your dictionary or looking up online right now to see what it is...but it is a word we have been using for the past couple weeks and has been a thorn in my side!

Plinths are the square/rectangular piece of trim that initiates the column (from the floor) when doing doorway trim or even window trim in some cases.

As we continue with the trim work...I don't think it will ever be finished...sorry Mark, you may never see your saw again :)...the search for the plinth has become ridiculous. We needed 8 more...but now our local Lowes is out of our size (due in 2 weeks), our local Home Depot doesn't carry that size or style...so then it's off to search the surrounding cities for the perfect plinth! Finally found more down in Sterling Heights...needed another 8...had 10 in stock...so had to really decide which ones were the best of the 10! Back to work!

Living Room is 95% complete...now needs quarter round since the floor wasn't level, we don't mention the walls! Here's a preview with also a quick peek at the dining room...which is about 45% complete.
