Thanks Bill! He's the Best thing we ever "grew"! The pumpkins were a success as well as the squash. My watermelons were a bust. Hey, you win some and lose some, right?

Hi Rhoda - thanks for coming by to take a look. I referred to your blog as I did this project and it was incredibly helpful. Keep up the good work! Hockeymom I'll take a picture of the edges and post it. You can kind of get an idea by looking at the picture above with the clamps. I glued the moulding on flush with the edge of the door. On one of the doors I think the moulding went a little over the edge because it rubbed a little against the door next to it when we rehung them. So my son sanded both edges a bit and I had to repaint, but it was fine. I did fill in the seam between the moulding and the original door. I used spackle pretty liberally, let it dry overnight, then sanded the next morning with an electric sander to get it smooth. I think Rhoda used caulk. Any place I missed got filled in pretty well with paint. It was a little easier to have the wallpaper go almost all the way to the edge of the door (that happened on the hall cabinet doors, but the laundry room doors were too wide for a single sheet to go entirely edge to edge). valinsv - I was a little nervous about using the mitre saw, but my son (he's 19) stepped right up and started cutting angles with no problem. I had him do a couple of trial cuts first just to be sure that the 45 degrees was exact (it was). The guy we bought the saw from showed me how to use it. Next project for my son's summer break from college: baseboards! Lynn I might have to go to Albuquerque in the next couple of weeks. I've seen the pictures you've posted of your beautiful house - I'd love to help, but you're so talented I'm sure you'll have no problem with this kind of project.

Thanks for all the compliments...I will make sure the guys see this! I am pretty sure this is Mike's first 'dig'! But he really did a great job! Here are the fish that he had in the 100 gallon (how they lived 2 years in there, I can't understand!!) They will LOVE their new digs!

Trailrunner, I'm not going to be much help with the beadboard. Home Depot offered two kinds: 1/4" pre-primed for painting, and 3/8" plywood. We bought the 3/8", and it seemed much heavier and more rigid than the 1/4". I don't know the size of the sheets, but I can tell you they were lying flat in the plywood aisle at HD. All I did was pay for them.....my son got them home and onto the porch, and the contractor took it from there. He installed them over the original double-plank (hemlock) construction of my old farmhouse. We used the same beadboard for the ceiling as well. I hope this small amount of information helps. Susan
