Cool Story... while cutting out some curly maple thresholds, I learned from my neighbor the origin of the word "threshold" A long time ago, (can't remember where or when) people used to put thresh all over their stone floors (can you picture a dungeon in your mind?) during the rainy season to keep the ground from getting slippery. Near the doorways, they would lay down a plank of wood to hold the thresh down so it wouldn't blow away -- and that lead to the word "threshold"!
Next up... tile in the bathroom, baseboards, and trim around the windows!!
Now this really makes it look like a fancy hotel. A cool flat screen tv and mini kitchen for Mary?! What a fun place to be! You sure have done a great job on this basement project, Spencer.
ReplyDeleteAgain, as always your skills are shockingly amazing. Where on earth you learned to do all this stuff and so professionally is way beyond me. Thanks for your patience and perseverance.
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a finishing difference this makes. It looks so classy, Spencer> Way to go! I am excited to think your boys could be in their new room by Christmas eve, maybe sooner, if you'll let them walk on it.
