My parents just got a double wide set and opted out of the rest of the finish work as there was only a bit and we wanted to tackle it ourselves. The drywall we knocked out easy as pie.
What's left is trimming out the two doors at the marriage line. They are deeper than normal, and came with pre laminated filler strips to cover the marriage line at the door jamb. When putting the strips in place, they don't sit flush with either side of the wall. It looks like they need to be scribed. My concern with doing that is it seems hacky as once you scribe and trim one side, it'll be shown either when entering the room or leaving the room. There's trim molding that goes over it but it's got an 1/8 reveal so at least an 1/8 of particle board would be visible. My guess would be that you paint it to cover the wood but again that seems hacky.
The boards are 8.5" wide and some are scribed down as much as 7.75" on one side and none of them are a straight cut leaving jagged edges.
Any ideas?
