Quarter Round

FINALLY! With the help of my fiance, I was able to finish the quarter round around all the baseboards in my condo. I haven't filled the holes and caulked it yet, but it's all installed! It was a big endeavor.
My next project (before patching the baseboards) is to sand some of the doors that stick. The weather is causing more doors to stick. I figure if I can get them to stop sticking now, then I'll be set when the weather changes back again. It was a LOT of fun to get an electric hand sander. I enjoy tools probably too much.

Tax Credit Update:
I called the IRS a little over a week ago and they said it was week 12 and they have 16 to process it. So hopefully within the next month I get my money.....

Oh the IRS

I've been hanging out and waiting for my $8000 tax credit for quite a while now. I finally decided that maybe my tax form never made it to the IRS so I should give them a call. After being on hold for 20 minutes they informed me that they have received my request and I'm on week 12. They have a total of 16 weeks to process the refund. 16 WEEKS! I don't know about you, but that seems a little silly. I got my original refund within 2 weeks of filing. Why don't they let you e-file an amended return?? They would save themself so much time. Anyway, I've got 4 more weeks to wait for my check.
Don't get your hopes up for expedited IRS servce.
