Just a small tip, when you doing door trims, start with the top one, same as you did.. BUT, when you do the side, just flip the trim, frontside against the wall, then hit top trim edge with the sidetrim.. it will leave a mark, no need for measurements. Perfect length every time

Its interesting, here in canada the most common way would be to apply plaster and then apply baseboard before the flooring is installed so the painters comes in and spray everything (makes for a really nice finish, no brush or roller marks) after that we have the florring installed and then the quarter rounds at the base of the baseboard. Its very common for production house builder to do it in this order

@sullivns1 3 года назад

It's done that way so there is less chance of movement or cracking of plaster by fixing timber work after the plastering has been done, also with the timer work in place the plastering helps take out any imperfections around the timber

@garraddavies1138 3 года назад

Been another kiwi qualified carpenter, I also generally put finish trim on first, otherwise in the internal cnrs it's been pack out of square from plaster, and tape joins are usually not flat after plaster, so u either have to sand it flat, scratch it out or plane the back of the skirts, otherwise it looks wavey. Plasterers prefer to you to do it after them, but that's cause they are to lazy to Sand it properly

@DiscoFang 3 года назад

Basically comes down to choice. Do it first and the finishing becomes the plasterer's problem; do it after and it becomes the carpenter's problem. Generally builders/carpenters here in NZ don't give a damn about the ultimate "best practice".

Hi, for 30 years I did scribing just like this, however a couple of years ago I learnt a new technique using a grinder and a flap wheel - much quicker, more accurate, and only one tool required. I'm sure there must be videos on RU-vid about how to do it this way, check it out.

@ericwolff6059 3 года назад

There are a number of reasons for the high cost of timber here, as well as the shortage. Some of the vast purpose grown timber forests were sold off some years ago, cut down and turned in to dairy farms. Much is sold directly to China as whole logs. Many timber mills have closed down over the years, leaving many people out of work and mill towns to decay. The government planted vast areas in pine plantations from the 1930's in anticipation of this country's growing building needs, state housing, etc. They were all sold off/privatised in the Rogernomics and Ruthernomics eras (errors) of the 80's and 90's, and now the chickens have come to roost, so to speak.

You have the same crappy match wood for finish trim as we do in Oz. That skirt we call lambs tongue. I miss all the huge thick ornate trim I used to work with in UK. 6 to 12 inch skirts and 3 to 4 inch archs all designs and an inch thick. Why are you putting on finish trim with no plastering done. I do all my own plastering and having the trim on makes it harder to tape, set and sand. The framing shortages are a pain. The extension I am currently working on we are going all hardwood because a local mill can turn it out in days as opposed to weeks to get pine. NZ has a massive pine resource. Surprising that they can't supply their own.

@ericwolff6059 3 года назад

Yeah, so I had to add some missing scotia in the kitchen when I replaced the 25 year-old cabinets and I did it the hard way. It took me a good hour to figure out how to make 45 degree cuts to both pieces so they'd meet in the corner using a mitre box and hand saw (it was only after I'd finished I saw a video on coping, which would have been better). Then I had used a router in a home-made table to remove 1.5 mm from strips of 4 mm MDF, which was glued to the backs of the scotia pieces so that the thickness matched the original half-inch scotia, seeing as modern scotia, architraves and skirting is all 10 mm. End result wasn't pretty, but filler and paint hide a multitude of sins made by the home DIY fella...

@@andrewhirstle7413 I don't have any issues just doing 45s when I'm the person who does the framing and drywall. But in lots of production situations big corners are cut with quality of work as well as materials. So it's worth it to use a miter finder the time spent doing that out weights any time spent caulking fixing mistakes.

I always trim after the plasterer has sanded. Depending on the profile usually a cleaner finish in my opinion. No risk of the plasterer plastering out your top edge, especially with 10mm trim. Also honestly if your plasterer is going to be so bad that it throws your trim out (especially paint quality) that badly, then all his work is going to look terrible.

At least in Germany, but I think even in most of Europe we’re actually having a timber shortage, too. It’s crazy how much the prices have gone up the last few months... And as an average consumer it’s almost impossible to get your hands on good timber atm.

There is also a building material shortage here in the States and it's expensive

In the US framing lumber is 4x the normal price. Structural panels like OSB are up 7x normal price. And we have a very large siding manufacture that can't get their resins and glues, they are saying that might last half a year or longer.
