Mary continued painting panels and trim moulding as well as interior doors in the garage. Mark and I used Cindy’s pattern to cut the panel on the right side of the fireplace and under the wall mounted television to meet the wood plank wall on the front of the house. The pattern fit perfectly and looks great. When we tried the same process on the left side of the fireplace we were unable to get the panel to fit. When we were finally able to get the panel to accurately match the stones of the fireplace, the panel wouldn’t align with the adjacent panel. After dealing with the issue for most of the morning, we realized that the panel was incorrectly manufactured and wasn’t a rectangle but more of a slight parallelogram. We were frustrated that we had wasted much of the day on the defective panel but when we used the pattern on a panel that we verified to be square the wainscoting went up quickly. We put the chair rail up making sure that we had a good fit.
We stopped for a lunch of cheese sandwiches then continued to install panels down the hall toward the back of the house. By the time we finished we only had the panels behind the spiral staircase and along the kitchen wall to do.
Mark’s sister, Jodie, and her husband, Grant, had planned on coming down for New Year’s Eve. However, Jodie was still recovering from the flu and thought that she should wait another day before getting around people.
We picked up a couple of Papa John’s pizzas for dinner then Cindy made chocolate cupcakes from a recipe that Sarah gave her. We had some without icing after dinner and found them to be moist and flavorful.
We watched the Christmas special of Chelsea Detective on Acorn TV and turned in before 10 pm. We decided that there was no need to stay up until midnight. We went to sleep after doing our evening language lessons.
