I finished all of the time-consuming cutting of quarter round on Sunday and today I got to play with our new 18-gauge brad nail gun, which runs on compressed air. What took hours to cut and install took all of about 30 minutes to nail in with the gun.

I had one nail jam near the end of the job, and it was easily cleared with a small screwdriver. This was so much easier, efficient and effective than drilling pilot holes and hammering in nails.

I mounted the first of eight under-cabinet lights today. While playing around with the loose supply wires to test the light, I managed to short circuit the dimmer switch, which expired with a POP! sound. I got a replacement at Home Depot after dinner and will install it AFTER I install all of the rest of the lights in that line-up. Photos tomorrow.
