Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

It's good I like reading them! And thanks for typing that out it's really simple and easy to understand

I put on my big-girl pants and made another big go at it today.

Here are all the details in case it ever helps anyone (or in case you get a curious itch, lol):

photos of filling nailsthe finishing nails are sunk into the trim:

so I put a little wood filler on the hole, like this:

then wipe the excess so it's flush with the trim:

photos of gaps and caulkingnext steps were to fill gaps between baseboard and the wall, and between trim and baseboards, before pics:

after caulking:

My partner encouraged me to just trying to use caulk to fill the larger gaps of the baseboards that were attached with adhesive. I was hesitant, but I tried it out and it seems OK:

It's poor craftsmanship, but it would have taken an entire extra day or weekend just to figure out how to get the tension right to glue the top of that baseboard back to the wall, and I was able to fill it sufficiently with caulk. Hopefully it will be fine, esp. since it's just in the utility room of a basement.

The only step left is to give it a coat of white trim paint, which I'll do another weekend.
