DIY: Caulking!
Permalink  
 


So along with the new flooring I had the wood trim replaced.  I just finished caulking the gaps between the walls and trim.  I love caulking.  It's something I can do myself so for the cost of a container of caulk and a cheap sponge the rooms and hallway really look finished.

A painter I had hired a few years ago left me his caulk.  His gun is really  firm so made for nice even caulking. biggrin

I wish I could caulk. DH can. My father does a better job, however. And he loves to do it. It's a joke in the family. My mom tells him to whip his caulk out (pronounced ****) and run it along her cracks. I know, we're crazy.

 I've become quite the expert.  Did you know caulks come in many colors? I prefer the white, but you can get clear too.

If you hire someone, they will bring their own caulk.

I have had dreams of caulking lately, but my plumbing is all wonky right now, so caulking is kinda out of the question due to the plumbing anxiety. I mean, I think I might wanna caulk, and then I start to think about the plumbing problems getting in the way or causing embarrassment and I totally freeze up and just cant get up the courage. Meanwhile, the caulk dreams continue.

 Funny you mention the gutter; you should have seen me outside today with the screw driver switching out my down spouts.

 Sometimes it's more satisfying to use your own caulk.

Is there a special tool for that? What is it called? Maybe I will run to the store and get it.

 I don't know what the tool is called. I do know it keeps the caulk stiff, though.  Ask the salesclerk.

 You don't have the right tool.  Sometimes all it takes is to run your finger down the caulk line.
