76 right now...thunderstorms on the way! A high of 86 is predicted.
Wheeeeeeeeeee!!!! Got the lawn mowed finally!! This was yesterday and I did hear thunder...figured I'd have to stop. But the rain held off and I got 'er done.
Today...I bought some molding for the split between the laminate floor and adjacent linoleum. But I screwed up due to the differences in height (laminate being .12" to .18" taller then the linoleum). There are reducers, but I haven't found the color (stain) we need...haven't found any unstained reducer moldings at all. I'm either going to try to make spacers (using the off fall from the laminate flooring) or find some shims of some sort. We just don't want a trip hazard.
As far as the walls...the floor had been carpeted and had no moldings. The kitchen and other areas with linoleum have what appears to be a 1"x2" used as molding. This is a log house (built from a kit, I think), so I don't know if those 1x2's came with the kit, or if the original owner just improvised.
I'll be the first to admit, I'm not a superduper handyman, so this has been a real learning experience.
