Install Baseboard and Shoe Molding
Mitered, Coped, and Caulked
Install baseboard trim that tucks tight to the floor and looks right at the corners. This book walks the mitered corner, the coped corner, the scribe trick for uneven floors, and the caulk-and-paint finish.
Kindle edition coming soon. Until then, the PDF download includes the same content.
About This Guide
Tight corners. Flat-to-floor. Invisible seams.
Baseboard makes a room look finished. Bad baseboard — gaps at corners, uneven to floor, visible seams — makes a room look DIY in the wrong way.
This book walks: - Baseboard profiles and sizing. - Measuring the room. - Mitered outside corners. - Coped inside corners (harder but hides gaps from drywall that isn't square). - Scribing to an uneven floor. - Fastening (nails, glue, or both). - Shoe molding (quarter-round or base shoe). - Caulk lines at the wall. - Painting or staining.
