No. The joints look like crap. I think I am going to have to bite the bullet and tear them apart. Anyone need some work?

Wow.. you guys sound like my wife. Okay.. so crown seems to be out. Part of the reason I wanted to do it is that the wall / ceiling joints in that room are pretty crappy. They are perfect everywhere else in the house. ( That room was added / finished later ).. and they are bugging me. ( I...

Okay.. next project is being contemplated... Crown moulding. I have some weird ceiling angles to deal with. I have attached a couple of pictures for opinions. How would you all install crown moulding on these strange angles... that is, where would you put it to make it look correct? I always...

Thanks for the replies... new pictures and projects coming soon... Jeff

Next project..... Crown moulding..... I have a bunch of strange ceiling angles, so, I definitely will be posting pictures for opinions and advice...

Guys, Thanks for the replies. The carpet guys did a nice job of rolling the carpet into the tile, so, I think I'll concur and just leave it alone. That whole fireplace mantel and surround was handbuilt (not by me), except for the pillars that were commercially produced. What was there...

I have attached a couple of pictures of the fireplace in the family room. As you can see, the carpet is rolled up to the granite tile, with no trim between the tile and carpeted areas. Any opinions on what I should trim this out with? Thanks! Jeff

Thanks! I'm thinking about giving up my day job. ( Okay, not really )

Looks like this job turned out pretty good. I have attached some pictures of the final results. I took the advice I receoved here, and, replaced the door casing trim as well to get rid of the gap at the bottom. Thanks for all of your opinions / assistance.

Yeah... that trim is definitely getting a repair as well. I "shimmed" it in another area with an original piece of the trim, cut to fit the space, then sealed and painted. It is almost impossible to tell that it was not even before. ( Opinion ? ) Also, second opinion time... I cut the...

Looks like they measured down from top 1/4 inch and did a 33 degree backcut at that point Seems simple. We'll see how it turns out! Thanks again. Jeff

Glenn, Thanks for the reply. I thought this looked pretty strange as well. I think I would like to cut my return as you described above. Can you give me a quick diagram or picture of what I am trying to accomplish? Greatly appreciated. Jeff

I have attached two photos, same problem, different side of the hallway. Both of these baseboard trim pieces come up against carpet in our family room. The quarter round trim ends on one side of the door casing on both sides, but obviously, I would like to trim out the unfinished side as...

Hey guys. Here is what I did... Since I am going to put berber over this, I decided to lay down 1x8 bumped up against 1x2. This gave me a new effective tread of just over nine inches of width, with a 1 1/4 inch overhang. I used spruce boards, loads of assembly adhesive and deck screws. It...

Glenn, Thanks for the reply! Glad I found this site. The stairs were originally indicated in the house plans, but they were never built ( long story ). I would like to have a wider tread as well, but, after doing all of the calculations, it would have taken away a large parts of the room...

See the attached picture if you are unclear on how the current rise and tread are laid out.

I am hoping someone can help me with this issue. We recently built a set of stairs from our laundry room to the unfinished "bonus" room over the garage. To make a long story short and get to the point, the rough tread width + riser, with no overhang, currently is approximately 7.5 inches. I...
