Crown is easy unless ceiling ain't levelQuote:

I feel like I'm going to HAVE to cope since even the crown molding is Spanish Cedar - not like I can swab some caulk in the gap and paint it!
Update on the door: Got the call that after waiting over a month that the door was built out of spec. Not something easily corrected like wrong swing - they built the whole thing TOO BIG to fit! AHHHHHHHH!
And get this - the builder has run out of material and is weeks out on manufacturing.

Coping gives you the best look in my opinion. You can get tighter joints so less filler is needed for paint or staining.Quote:

1) Still needs some work before the grand reveal (I know better than to show an empty space, even if a work-in-progress).
2) Neighbor up the street is moving soon and @jhedrick83 is going to need a place on the block.
What the hell man. I thought I was going to get to stay IN your new humidor.....Quote:
