    good job! Did you buy the iron on edging? It will really make it have that finished more professional look if you do. I went with belly heat, from what I've researched though they've never proven belly eat is better/worse than back. Post some pics once you've got some occupants in there!

    Edging

    As previous poster said, I would recommend edging if possible, not only does it help it look better but I have had a problem with moisture getting into the exposed section and some "bloating" of the wood. Very rare but it has happened.
