Caulk and drip

What nut invented caulk guns? Why are they so hard to use when you want to stop the caulk from coming out? I ended up with caulk all over myself today. Thank goodness for paper towels.

I finally glued and nailed the trim to the desktop today. I had a couple of bad hammer hits, but otherwise it went ok. The nails set into the trim fine. I caulked and primed the top, so it should be ready to sand and paint later this week--or whenever I have enough time to start it. I also caulked the seams to the hutch pieces. (I made a mess of one, though, because it was a bit too thick and "shed" when I tried to clean up the edges later.)

My husband is desperate to have his entire garage back. My project is taking up half the space, but I can't help it if it takes time for paint and caulk to dry! If I didn't have a full-time job, I'd be able to do this faster :-)
