Oooh, and a few roasted sweet potatoes, and some of the green beans he canned from the garden last summer.<br /><br />Just sayin'. You know where we hide the key...and if you don't, ask any of the neighbors.

Its thinks like that the prospective buyer may not notice until they move in and then it wills start bugging them! :)Tammy Vasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01531335275070860886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-43248668188821588472012-02-18T21:49:35.953-08:002012-02-18T21:49:35.953-08:00Definitely NOT cut at an angle - I had this done o...Definitely NOT cut at an angle - I had this done on a section of my bathroom where there was a similar scenario, and it looks funny. You could do something called a "return" - here's a good link showing how to do it, though I think they cut their finished example a bit short as part of the wall shows!: <br />http://www.curbly.com/users/alexrussell/posts/339-when-good-baseboards-end-bad<br /><br />Here's a video showing a better job of a return: <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqYKKD1_hO8<br /><br />Practice on your house, then come install the baseboards at mine - three rooms that didn't get done when new flooring was laid, and I still haven't done them nearly three years later.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231007979360748217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-84650289757537305512012-02-18T21:30:10.502-08:002012-02-18T21:30:10.502-08:00If I could "like" a comment in blogger I...If I could "like" a comment in blogger I'd be "liking" AareneX's!<br /><br />My little house needs Funder help!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03906855143092978620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-79857901434254956342012-02-18T20:59:07.004-08:002012-02-18T20:59:07.004-08:00It just seems like a waste to run all that extra b...It just seems like a waste to run all that extra base.

Bullnosing it will look way better than just cutting it at an angle. I don't have a router, but it's that primed MDF so I should be able to make it work with a coping saw and some sandpaper - prime and paint the end and it'll pass!Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-4804105061705840082012-02-18T20:47:05.431-08:002012-02-18T20:47:05.431-08:00I showed the question to Todd and his friend Dan. ...I showed the question to Todd and his friend Dan. They think:<br /><br />either run a whole baseboard (the best option)<br /><br />run the baseboard flush and router the end of it (like a bullnose end)<br /><br />or<br /><br />just cut the end at a 45, but they both think this will look "funny".<br /><br />Yikes, now they are getting quite animated!<br /><br />Todd suggests trying it out on a small scrap piece first to see if it bugs you to look at.<br /><br />Good luck, personally I'd do whatever is easier :)CGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083608347643075663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-56398419791507817622012-02-18T20:41:24.786-08:002012-02-18T20:41:24.786-08:00I just want the Funder Fairy to show up at my hous...I just want the Funder Fairy to show up at my house with a full truckload of building materials and tools, and completely fix it.
