INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Once you've got all the molding installed, use caulk to fill any gaps at the corners and other gaps. Be aware, however, that if there are gaps between the molding and your baseboards, you may have simply placed your nails too far apart and adding an intermediate nail may help. Use a nail crayon, if you want to, to fill in the holes created when you countersunk the nails. With everything else done, all that remains is to stain or paint the molding however you want it to look. This is easiest when the baseboards are also unfinished, but if your baseboards are already stained you might want to stain the molding before installing it. Once your paint or stain is dry, you're all done! Enjoy your new, professional-looking room!

SUMMARY: Caulk gaps to create a smoother look. Use a nail crayon to cover the nails. Paint or stain your molding.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once you have gotten your hamster out of their cage, take them a quiet place. Go someplace small, where they can’t get lost, and where this isn’t anything that could hurt them. Usually a good place for this is the bathroom. Set your hamster on your lap and allow them to crawl on you. Interact with your hamster using slow, gentle movements. It is important to avoid making the hamster anxious and therefore aggressive. Anytime you play with your hamster, keep your motions even and smooth. Anytime the hamster comes close to biting you, you can discipline them by blowing in their face. One, brisk exhale into your hamsters face should deter them from biting, and act as a form a discipline to help show him that biting is wrong. Each night at your designated “hamster time,” take your hamster out of their cage and interact with them 10-20 minutes. When you are finished, gently transfer them back into their cage. Do this each night for two weeks. If you stick to program and spend quality time with your hamster each night, they will most certainly become tame and refrain from biting. It will take some patience, however, because this will not happen overnight. If you become frustrated with your hamster, they are likely to become frustrated as well. Stay calm, and they will stay calm too.
Summary: Go to a quiet place. Interact with your hamster. Blow in their face. Interact with them regularly. Be patient.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Traditional barns are typically stick-framed, the same way that most homes are. Arrange your wall studs vertically along the top of your foundation’s sill plate, spacing them at a distance of 16–24 inches (41–61 cm) on center. To secure each stud, drive two nails down through the bottom of the interior edge and into the sill plate. Complete your wall frame by attaching a top plate that mirrors your sill plate, sinking a pair of nails into the top of each underlying stud.  The sill plate is the first piece of lumber you'll put down for your foundation. On most structures, the sill plate consists of a series of boards laid out around the outer edges of the foundation and secured with bolts, masonry nails, and/or steel straps.  For a more rustic look, try framing your barn with rough-cut 4x6 oak posts spaced 8–12 feet (2.4–3.7 m) apart on center. Call your local saw mill to ask about having custom posts cut to the exact specifications you need. to frame the roof. Choose a type of roof that suits your aesthetic preferences and spatial needs, as well as the typical climate conditions where you live. Barns in high-rainfall areas, for instance, may benefit from steeply-sloped roofs. Once you’ve decided on a particular style, measure the roof and use the dimensions you get to plan the layout of your trusses, which you can then cut and fasten assembly-line style.  In the past, barns almost always featured gambrel roofs, which consist of four flat planes that come together in a point at the center. If you prefer, you could also go with a simpler style for your barn, such as a gable, skillion, hip, or even a flat roof.  The roof is one of the most important parts of the barn, as it serves to provide shade, deflect precipitation, and keep the interior of the structure covered. If you’re not confident in your ability to build a sturdy, watertight roof yourself, it’s best to hire a contractor to come in and make sure the job gets done right. Start by cutting sheets of 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) plywood into sections and nailing them into place on your roof trusses. Then, roll out overlapping sheets of roofing felt and nail or staple them along the edges to secure them. From there, you can put down shingles or standing seam metal sheets, which are the two most common types of materials used to roof traditional barns.  Roofing felt acts as a buffer to protect your roof’s sheathing from damage, block out moisture, and insulate against heat and cold. Plan on putting down a layer of roofing felt no matter what roofing materials you ultimately go with. Corrugated metal roof panels can provide a simple and long-lasting option if you have a little more money to spend. They’re easy to install, environmentally-friendly, and capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, sun exposure, and precipitation for up to 70 years! Board & batten siding is a type of pre-cut wood siding responsible for giving old-fashioned barns their distinctive appearance. Purchase your siding in individual panels pre-cut to the desired size for ease of installation. Fasten the panels to the exterior walls of the barn by driving nails into both ends of the top and bottom.  It may be necessary to trim the final board on each wall to comfortably fit the remaining space. If you prefer the DIY approach, you can also create your own board & batten-style siding by nailing 2x10 boards onto your wall studs with 2x4 boards positioned perpendicularly in-between. Last but not least, you’ll need a way to get yourself and your livestock in and out of the barn. Barn doors are available in both swinging and sliding styles, though sliding doors are far more common. To install sliding barn doors, mount a narrow backing board over the entrance cutout and screw on the metal track hardware included with your door’s installation kit. Attach the roller straps to either side of each door’s upper edge, then carefully lift the doors and set them down in the track, making sure the wheels are aligned properly.  Barn doors can be quite heavy, and may be too cumbersome to manage by yourself. Ask someone to give you a hand hoisting the doors up onto their tracks once you’re done installing the mounting hardware.  Don’t forget to measure the wall you want to put your door in so you’ll know what size doors to buy and how far they’ll be able to open in either direction. This will be especially important if you’ll be herding large animals through the entrance.

SUMMARY:
Construct a standard stick wall frame out of 2x6 studs. Build a series of trusses Install your roofing materials of choice. Cover your barn’s frame with board & batten siding. Mount a set of large sliding doors for the main entrance.
