Thanks! I'll let you know if I need an extra pair of hands when I get to the floor :)
Going to try and tackle the crown molding this weekend, or at least some of it, because I can work on that without tearing the whole room apart.

I tried to do some crown molding a few years ago. Just when I got the cutting angles all figured out, I discovered that the rooms in my 60 year old house were only a vague approximation of square. The project turned out to be beyond my limited capabilities.  ;D

I think only one wall in my house is straight.  30 year old house.  Pain in the a$$ doing floors past couple of years.

Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?
