Finished Interior Doors and Started Trim

It has been a while since I have posted, and really, much progress has been made.  We have 99% of the electrical completed -- lights, outlets, etc.  There are a few things not working, but I think they just didn't put a breaker in for a few things.

My parents came to visit a little more than a week and a half ago, and we planed and sanded the window frames down to be flush with the wallboard, so that will make the trim work a lot easier.  The house wasn't quite to the point where they could actually stay overnight here, so they stayed in a motel.

My brother, Terry, came to help me put in the interior doors at the end of this past week, and we were able to get all the doors set, and two of the five pocket doors cased in.  After he left yesterday, I was able to finish the pocket door casing, and also put in all 5 of the cased openings (we like the open feel)...

Today, I decided to try some of the trim around the inside of the closet doors, and I was able to get three of them done.  Let's just say, I'm not a pro at trim, but it looks respectable.  There are a few cracks showing, and I'm not sure I want to do all the doors that are visible all the time.  I'm sure I'll get better as I go, so maybe I'll just do it anyway...  My wife and I have decided that we're not going to be as picky as we may normally be...

I am currently unable find my camera, so my wife took some pictures with her camera...  If you think there are too many, you'll have to blame her ;)

Is that enough pictures for one day?  Thank you, Sweetheart, for taking pictures today :)
