Living Room and Dining Room Baseboards (3)
We completed the baseboards in two more rooms downstairs! We only have to finish the guest bath and the more major renovation in the Master bath. This will leave only a handful of manageable small projects to complete downstairs. Someday I want to put crown molding in most of the rooms in the house, but I promised myself that I would get the more immediate things on the list done first.

The Dining Room with Bare Wood

My Compressor Cleaner
Sophia decided to help me nail the top piece to the baseboards. She insisted she wear safety glasses and then proceeded to carefully clean the sawdust from my pancake compressor.

Why not paint the wood before you nail it in place? its a whole lot easier and you only need to touch up the nail holes when you are finished!

That would have been loads easier! Too bad the contractor house didn't think of it when he had the baseboards replaced after ruining the originals. Once they were in I decided that enough damage had been done to my home and told him I'd finish them myself...
With the boards upstairs, I have done exactly as you suggest! :)
