One of Murphy's corollaries must state that you won't really discover where you should have applied spackling until you have painted that very spot. So, this weekend I did some touch-up with spackling, sanding, painting the wall and, finally the trim in areas that needed some dressing up. I also installed the granite "braces" under our 12" counter overhang. I've been assured by the granite fabricator that this is not necessary, but we had already ordered the braces and they are now installed, more for decoration than for any structural support.

On Sunday, I installed the under-cabinet lights for the dining room area. This work is all performed from a contorted, upside down position, and I was tempted to lay on the counter to get a better working angle!

Today, Amanda and I took a trip to Home Depot to pick up a 36" x 80" mirrored closet door for the hallway closet. This is one heavy beast! I spent most of the afternoon installing it, and we are very pleased with the smooth sliding action of the door.

We also bought one more eleven foot piece of oak quarter round, to which I applied two coats of polyurethane and cut to size with our miter box to use as trim around the north end of the island, which had to be shimmed off the floor to keep it level. I'll nail it in tomorrow with the brad gun.
