Sanity survived

I did it! I've got a baseboard for the layout and I still have my sanity!
After about 45 minutes under the weights I carefully removed them and decided to screw the 2x1 to the frame.
Very carefully I compared the wood screws I had to my drill bits to find one the right size. I drilled holes in the frame, some were almost vertical some weren't so vertical. Then I screwed the pieces together. By hand mind you. I always, always strip the heads of screws when I try using an electric screwdriver. All of my other wooden baseboards are testament to this fact. So at long last I have learned my lesson and I have a serviceable baseboard. Now I can start to work on the good stuff...
