Roctober First Update

I finished the cap on the Wainscot. I am mostly very pleased except for one part.

Here are a couple of before and after shots.

Here is my problem area.

The joint above was planned. I knew from the start that I had no single piece of the cap that would extend the whole length of that wall. I cut the joint at a 45 degree angle and really worked to fit it into place seamlessly. As you can see, it didn't work. I shall have to try and refit it.

On the wall where the toilet is, I blew my measurement and cut the last long piece I had short by seven inches. So I had a have a joint to extend the run. That joint I was pissed about and didn't work as hard to make it look good. However, it is nearly invisible.

You sure can't see it in the picture above.

It seems that the story of my construction life is that the things I agonize over never work out.

Later today, I'll be trying to fix that bad joint and putting up the corner trim.
