anyone ever glue the frames together? Seems like a bad idea if I ever have to take them down, but the paint won't crack over the seam/joint.

thanks to all for the input. I was wondering if they should be counterbored and plugged . There is only a small gap for the inset doors so they need to be at least countersunk. I will consider...

after the fireplace was bricked. Yes I know if needs a mantle, but is is low on the list of things to do as you'll see. The hardwood floor came to be installed. Best part about this was the...

after the drywall was complete we had a trowel finish added to the ceilings and wall. Of course we could stop at the kitchen so it went into the dinette and the family room. For a accent, the...
