1109 - Plaster and Trim Work
October 30-November 5, 2000 | April 30-May 6, 2001
HI, I'M BOB VILA. WELCOME HOME AGAIN
TO I'ON, HERE IN SOUTH CAROLINA,
WHERE THE LOW COUNTRY HOUSE IS ALMOST FINISHED.
TODAY WE'RE PUTTING SOME BEAUTIFUL TRIM WORK IN THE DINING ROOM,
CROWN MOLDING AND BASEBOARD MOLDINGS.
BOB RYLEY AND FINISH CARPENTER DENNIS DEVORE
WILL ALSO TRIM OUT THE WINDOWS AND ADD A PICTURE MOLDING
AND A CHAIR RAIL TO THE DINING ROOM.
ALSO, WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT
A SPRAY UP FIBERGLASS INSULATION SYSTEM IN THE GARAGE.
STICK AROUND. IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU HOME AGAIN.
CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY SEARS
THIS IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING MOMENT.
JOHN GALVIN, OUR PLASTERING CONTRACTOR,
IS, WELL, COVERING UP THE CORNER BEAD THERE.
AND THAT, OF COURSE, IS A METAL BEAD
WHICH ENSURES THAT WE HAVE A NICE HARD FINISH ON THE CORNER.
JOHN, I'M NOT GOING TO INTERRUPT YOU
BECAUSE I KNOW YOU GOTTA GO FAST WHEN YOU'RE DOING THIS
BUT YOU'RE USING UNOCAL, RIGHT?
YES, UNOCAL AND EXCALIBUR.
YOU MIX THE TWO TOGETHER? YEP.
AND WHAT'S THE POINT OF THAT?
WELL, ONE IS A FASTER SETTING PLASTER THAN THE OTHER,
AND IT ALSO HELPS FOR THE ANGLES.
IT'S EASIER TO KEEP STRAIGHTER ANGLES WITH IT,
ESPECIALLY IN THE HEAT.
ESPECIALLY IN THE HEAT DOWN HERE IN THE CAROLINAS.
YEP.
NOT WHERE YOU COME FROM, RIGHT?
NOT REALLY, IT'S A LITTLE BIT BETTER OFF THERE.
YOU COME FROM IRELAND?
YEP.
IT'S INTERESTING THAT WE'VE GOT LOTS OF IRISH CREWS WORKING AROUND THE STATES,
EVEN DOWN HERE IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
THERE YOU GO. YOU CAN'T BEAT THE IRISH.
YES, YOU'VE GOT AN EMPTY HOD, I'LL SEE YOU IN A MINUTE.
RYLEY'S OVER HERE AND HE'S CHECKING ON OUR CUSTOM MOLDINGS.
YEAH, WE JUST GOT THESE IN.
WE'VE GOT THE CROWN MOLDING HERE,
AND THE BASEBOARD. WHICH IS A ONE-PIECE BASEBOARD.
WE'RE USED TO PUTTING THESE IN IN TWO PIECES.
THE WHOLE THING HAS BEEN CUSTOM MOLDED.
THAT'S NICE, SO THAT'S THE BASE, THAT'S THE CROWN.
THIS IS THE OLD-FASHIONED PICTURE MOLDING
THAT THEY USED TO HAVE IN THE OLDER HOUSES.
WE'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING THEM IN THE DINING ROOMS.
THE GET USED TO HANG PICTURES OFF OF THEM.
EXACTLY. NOW THIS IS ALL MILLED IN LEOMISTER, MASS., I BELIEVE.
RIGHT, FORESTER DOES THESE AND THEY'RE A GREAT OUTFIT.
YEAH, THEY'VE GOT ALL SORT OF PROFILES THAT THEY CAN DO FOR US.
STOCK KNIVES SO THEY CAN RUN 'EM RIGHT OUT FOR US.
AND THE DELIVERY WAS RIGHT ON TIME, WHICH IS WHAT I LIKE.
OK, SO YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THESE INTO THE DINING ROOM, GREAT.
OK, WE'RE READY HERE TO START WITH OUR INTERIOR TRIM.
WE HAVE DENNIS DEVORE.
THAT'S CORRECT.
CAN I INTERRUPT YOU FOR A MINUTE? SURE.
SO I SEE YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED IN ON THIS ONE HERE.
WE HAVE 2 X 6 WALLS SO YOU'VE GOT YOUR EXTENSION JAMBS ON.
AND I CAN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THAT YOU'RE PLUGGING THEM.
WHY IS THAT?
FOR STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY, I ALWAYS USE GLUE AND SCREWS AND PLUGGING
ON A CLASS OF HOUSE OF THIS STYLE.
UH-HUH, EVERYONE DOES IT A DIFFERENT WAY WHEN THEY'RE TRIMMING OUT WINDOWS.
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME THAT I'VE SEEN THAT.
ONCE YOU GET YOUR EXTENSION JAMBS ON,
WHAT'S THE NEXT THING YOU WANNA DO?
WHAT I DO IS CUT A 12-INCH LONG PAIR OF THE CASINGS
THAT WE'RE GONNA BE USING ON THE HOUSE.
AND I GO AHEAD AND MARK A 3/16 REVEAL
WITH A COMBINATION SQUARE,
AND I WILL PLACE THEN AT THE PROPER PLANE
OF A PRE-MARKED LINE THAT I HAVE HERE
WHERE THE ACTUAL WINDOW STOOL IS GONNA GO.
SO ALL I HAVE TO DO IS LINE THIS UP WHERE I'M GONNA WANT IT TO GO
AND I'LL TACK IT ON.
OK, AND THAT ONE GOES OVER HERE.
AND WHAT I WILL DO NOW IS
I WILL GET MY OUTSIDE DIMENSION MEASUREMENT.
AND I'VE GOT 42 3/4.
I WANT A 3/4 INCH REVEAL ON THE RETURN OF THE WINDOW STOOL,
SO, OF COURSE, TWICE OF 3/4 IS AN INCH AND A HALF.
SO YOU JUST CUT IT AN INCH AND A HALF WIDE.
OK, NOW YOU'VE GOT IT CUT TO LENGTH WITH YOUR 45s ON IT,
WHAT'S YOUR NEXT PROCEDURE?
MY NEXT STEP IS GONNA BE TO FIND THE CENTER OF THE WINDOW STOOL
WITH THE CENTER OF THE WINDOW.
OK, I GOT A HOLD OF IT.
IT WAS 44 3/8 WAS THE LENGTH.
SO THE CENTER WILL BE 22 3/16. GOT IT.
SO WE'LL BE MARKING A CENTER LINE TO THE CENTER OF THE WINDOW
FROM THE EXTENSION JAMBS,
AND THAT IS 16 3/16.
SO WITH THE COMBINATION SQUARE
WE GO AHEAD AND MARK OUR CENTER LINE.
AND THERE'LL BE A MARK HERE THAT WE CAN HAVE A RELATION TO.
WHAT THAT DOES IS GIVE US A 3/4 INCH OVERHANG,
PAST OUR CASING.
PAST OUR CASING.
WE ARE READY TO NOTCH SO THAT THE STOOL ITSELF
WILL SLIP IN INTO THE NOTCHES OF THE WINDOWS
AND BE ABLE TO GIVE US THE DEPTH THAT WE NEED.
OK, WHY DON'T WE MARK IT AND GO AHEAD AND CUT IT.
THAT GIVES US OUR WIDTH CUT,
AND NOW FOR OUR DEPTH CUT
WE CAN GO AHEAD AND REMOVE THE STOOL
AND WE WANT TO USE THIS DIMENSION HERE, WHICH IS 2 INCHES.
OK, SO IF YOU SET YOUR GAUGE TO 2 INCHES--
YOU LIKE THE COMBINATION SQUARE.
I DO. I'M PRECISION,
AND IT'S GOTTA BE THAT WAY WITH WHAT I DO.
AND USE THAT AS THE GUIDE.
AND YOU FLIP IT OVER...
AND YOU WILL DO THE SAME THING HERE.
AND THEN WE GO AND CUT THE NOTCHES OUT.
NOW THAT WE GOT THESE CUT,
CAN WE GO AHEAD AND HELP ME TAKE THESE TEMPORARY CASINGS OFF
SO WE'VE GOT A CLEAR SHOT AT PUTTING OUR WINDOW STOOL IN.
AND IT SHOULD JUST AFFIX...
LIKE SO.
NICE. OK, NOW WHAT'S NEXT?
WE APPLY THE APRON, WHICH IS THIS PIECE OF WOOD RIGHT HERE,
I SEE A LITTLE BURRS ON IT
SO LET ME TAKE A PIECE OF SANDPAPER AND TAKE THE BURRS OFF OF IT.
AND WE'LL BE READY TO PLACE THIS.
PRIOR TO, I'VE ALREADY CUT IT TO THE RIGHT LENGTH,
WHICH WAS THE SAME DIMENSION AS THE OUTSIDE CASING DIMENSION.
I'VE ALREADY PREMADE MY MARK FOR MY CENTER LINE,
SO THIS REVEAL ON THE APRON AND ON THE CASING
WILL BECOME PERFECTLY IN LINE.
SO WE'RE READY TO ATTACH THIS.
I'M A STICKLER FOR STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY,
PRECISION AND QUALITY,
SO I ALWAYS USE A WALL ADHESIVE
TO ATTACH ANY MOLDINGS THAT HAVE TO BE--
WE DON'T WANT IT TO GO AWAY.
OK, WELL THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
THEN WHAT I'LL DO IS I'LL USE WOOD GLUE
ON THE VERY TOP OF IT.
AND THAT WILL GIVE ME A GOOD GLUE JOINT
BETWEEN THE STOOL AND THE APRON.
THAT'LL MAKE IT GOOD AND SOLID.
THEN WE KIND OF GET IT IN PLACE
AND WE GIVE IT A GOOD GLUE RUB
AND EYEBALL OUR CENTERS RIGHT ON DOWN
AND WE'RE READY TO NAIL IT.
VERY GOOD.
IF YOU CAN HAND ME THE NAIL GUN, SIR.
YOU GOT IT.
THERE...WE'RE READY THERE...
AND WE'RE READY THERE.
AND TO SEE TO IT THAT THIS WILL NEVER COME LOOSE,
I ALWAYS CLAMP MY STOOL AND APRON TOGETHER AFTER I GLUE IT.
THEN WE GO AHEAD AND CHECK FOR LEVEL
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GOOD AND PLUMB.
IF WE COULD JUST ROLL 'ER DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT.
AND THERE WE ARE.
SO NOW WE'RE READY FOR THE CASINGS.
WHAT I DO NOW IS MY RETURN PIECES,
HERE AND HERE, AND HERE AND HERE.
YOU DO THEM NOW?
I WILL DO THOSE NOW.
AND THE REASON WHY I PUT THESE RETURNS ON FIRST, BOB,
IS THAT IF THERE'S ANY DISCREPANCY,
I CAN SAND THEM WITH SANDPAPER AND THE GLUE AND SANDPAPER WILL MIX
AND HIDE ANY CRACKS OR JOINTS AND MAKE IT SUPER COOL FOR THE PAINTERS.
THAT MAKES GOOD SENSE, AND I CAN SEE YOU PUT THE 45 ON THERE
'CAUSE THIS HAS GOT AN OGEE TO IT ON THE STOOL CAP.
THAT'S CORRECT.
SO NOW WE'RE READY FOR THE TOP CASING, ARE WE?
THAT'S CORRECT.
I'VE ALREADY PREDETERMINED
WHAT OUR LENGTH IS GONNA BE ON THIS,
AND WE'RE READY TO NAIL THAT IN PLACE.
HERE YOU GO. THANK YOU.
NOW WE'RE READY FOR OUR SIDE CASINGS.
BOB, I ALWAYS GLUE MY JOINTS
BECAUSE I ALWAYS CONSIDER MY INTERIOR TRIM
LIKE FINE FURNITURE WORK.
I CAN SEE THAT, DENNIS.
AND I USUALLY PUT TWO NAILS HERE
TO START IT, LINE UP MY MITER
AND TACK NAIL IT THERE.
WE'LL DO THE SAME TO OTHER SIDE.
THEN I TAKE A LONG PIPE CLAMP
AND I ATTACH IT ABOUT MIDSHIPS OR IN CENTER....
OF THE MOLDING ITSELF.
AND CLAMP IT DOWN TO SEE TO IT THAT WE HAVE A GOOD TIGHT FIT ON OUR JOINTS.
THE PAINTERS ARE GOING TO LOVE YOU, DENNIS.
THANKS.
THAT LOOKS GREAT.
NOW I JUST WORK THE CASING TO MY PREMARKED REVEAL LINES.
THOSE WERE BRADS I WAS SHOOTING,
AND NOW I'LL SHOOT A LARGER FINISH NAIL, IN A 15 GAUGE.
AND IT ISN'T NECESSARY TO REALLY USE TOO MANY NAILS.
IT'LL HOLD ITSELF.
BECAUSE THERE'S PLENTY OF STUDDING BEHIND THE WALL
AND AFTER THE GLUE DRIES YOU REMOVE THE CLAMPS...
AND YOU'RE ALL DONE.
IT'S READY TO GO.
NICE JOB.
COMING UP NEXT WE'LL BE USING A SPRAY UP INSULATION SYSTEM
IN THE GARAGE, SO STICK AROUND.
OK, NOW WE'RE TALKING WITH MARK LONG AND BOB ROUNDTREE
AND THIS IS ALL ABOUT INSTALLED FIBERGLASS INSULATION.
THAT'S BLOWN IN, BUT IT'S NOT THE WAY
WE'RE ACCUSTOMED TO HEARING ABOUT IT, RIGHT?
THAT'S RIGHT, BOB.
THAT'S RIGHT.
WELL TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROCESS.
WELL IT'S CALLED ULTRA FIT,
IT'S MADE BY THE GUARDIAN CORPORATION,
AND IT'S A SPRAYED ON APPLICATION
WITH ABOUT A 50-50 MIX OF WATER AND MATERIAL.
THE MATERIAL HAS AN ADHESIVE ADDITIVE IN IT
SO THAT WHEN THE WATER MIXES WITH IT
IT ADHERES TO THE WALL PROPERLY.
SO THAT'S THE BIG ADVANTAGE, BOB.
IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE BLOWING FIBERGLASS WOOL INTO CAVITIES
IN OLD CONSTRUCTION IN A REMODELING JOB.
IT'S IN NEW CONSTRUCTION WHERE YOU'RE SPRAYING IT UP
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE DRYWALL UP YET.
RIGHT, THE WATER'S THERE TO ACTIVATE THE GLUE AND IT'S GONNA HOLD IT IN PLACE.
OK, THIS SAYS HERE THAT YOU GET 2 OR 3 TIMES MORE FIBER
AND IMPROVED "R" VALUES. HOW DOES THAT WORK?
WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE, WHEN YOU'RE SPRAYING WITH A 2 1/2 POUND DENSITY
WE'RE GONNA RECEIVE AN R15, IN A 2 X 4 WALL.
WHICH, AS YOU'VE SEEN WITH BATS BEFORE,
YOU JUST CAN'T GET THAT MUCH MATERIAL IN THERE BECAUSE OF OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE
CAVITY
SUCH AS WIRING AND ELECTRICAL BOXES AND SO ON.
SO THAT IS ONE OF THE KEYS,
'CAUSE I KNOW THAT WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO PUT IN BATS
WE'RE ALWAYS TRYING TO TAPE,
ALWAYS TRYING TO KIND OF JUGGLE IT AROUND, FIT IT AROUND,
AND WITH THIS KIND OF APPLICATION IT COVERS ENTIRELY.
WHAT ABOUT MOISTURE GETTING INTO IT?
FIBERGLASS IS GLASS. IT DOESN'T ABSORB MOISTURE, BOB.
ANY MOISTURE THAT'S ON IT TO ACTIVATE THE GLUE
IS GOING TO EVAPORATE THAT MUCH FASTER
'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT'S DOING. IT'S JUST RESTING ON IT.
AND DO YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT RODENTS OR INSECTS GETTING INTO IT?
NO, THERE'S NO NUTRITIONAL VALUE IN FIBERGLASS WHATSOEVER.
Bob: ALL RIGHT, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF WASTE
INVOLVED IN THIS INSTALLATION.
WELL ACTUALLY, BOB, THERE APPEARS TO BE A LOT OF WASTE
BUT IT'S A TOTALLY RECYCLABLE PRODUCT.
EVERYTHING BEING SCRUBBED OFF THE WALL WITH THIS SCRUBBER HERE
IS BEING VACUUMED UP AND RECYCLED BACK INTO THE HOPPER TO BE USED AGAIN.
OK, SO YOU DON'T MEAN RECYCLED ON ANOTHER JOB--
NO, NO, WE'RE GONNA USE IT ON THIS JOB HERE--
IT'S GETTING VACUUMED UP AS IT FALLS OFF THE WALLS.
THAT'S RIGHT, AND WE'RE SCRUBBING DOWN TO THE STUD FACINGS
SO THE SHEETROCK WILL FIT NICE AND SMOOTH.
UP THERE, I NOTICE, YOU DIDN'T GET ANY IN THE CAVITY
BETWEEN THE OSB AND THE STUDS. WHAT DO YOU DO UP THERE?
THE REASON FOR THAT IS, WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA USE A BAT UP THERE.
OK, SO IN AREAS WHERE THE CREVICE, IF YOU WILL,
IS SMALLER THAN THE NOZZLE ITSELF,
YOU HAVE TO USE REGULAR OLD FIBERGLASS BATTING.
THAT'S RIGHT, BOB.
THIS IS REALLY A NEW CONSTRUCTION TYPE OF APPLICATION.
IS IT MORE COST EFFECTIVE THAN USING REGULAR BATS?
DEFINITELY MORE COST EFFECTIVE. IT'S A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE.
IT IS AN UPSELL.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT YOUR AVERAGE HOUSE BEING 1,800 SQUARE FEET,
BEING BETWEEN $250 AND $300.
ONE LAST QUESTION. DO YOU NEED A MOISTURE BARRIER?
YES. WE WAIT 24 HOURS, BOB,
AND WE COME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND
PUT UP A 4 ML POLY ON TOP OF THIS
AND THAT GIVES US THE VAPOR BARRIER
WHICH WOULD BE THE SAME AS THE PAPER ON A CRAFT FACED BAT.
SURE, AND YOU WAIT 24 HOURS SO THAT THE WATER THAT'S IN THE MIX--
RIGHT. IT'S GOT A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF MOISTURE IN IT.
WE LET THAT DRY OVER A 24-HOUR PERIOD
AND IT'LL ALL BE GONE TOMORROW.
THANKS, FELLAS. IT'S VERY INTERESTING.
THANK YOU.
WHEN WE COME BACK, BOB RYLEY CONTINUES
THE WOOD TRIM IN THE DINING ROOM,
SO DON'T GO AWAY.
NEXT TIME ON...
THE FINISHING TOUCHES GET UNDERWAY
AT OUR SOUTH CAROLINA LOW COUNTRY HOUSE.
WE'LL BE PUTTING UP A BEAUTIFUL CROWN MOLDING IN THE DINING ROOM.
BOB RYLEY AND FINISH CARPENTER DENNIS DEVORE
WILL BE TRIMMING OUT THE DINING ROOM WINDOWS
AND ADDING A CHAIR RAIL AND PICTURE MOLDINGS, AS WELL.
ALSO, WE'LL BE USING A SPRAY UP FIBERGLASS INSTALLATION SYSTEM IN THE GARAGE.
THE SPRAY APPLICATION INSULATES THE WALLS
MORE EFFICIENTLY THAN FIBERGLASS BATS.
THAT'S NEXT TIME ON HOME AGAIN. DON'T MISS IT.
NEXT TIME ON...
IT'S WINDOW TRIM AND CROWN MOLDINGS IN THE DINING ROOM
AND SPRAY UP FIBERGLASS INSULATION IN THE GARAGE.
DON'T MISS IT.
DENNIS, I SEE YOU'VE GOT THE WINDOWS DONE. THEY LOOK TERRIFIC.
CAN I GIVE YOU A HAND WITH THE REST OF THE TRIM?
SURE, WE'LL PUT THE FIRST PIECE OF BASE ON AGAINST THIS WALL.
WHICH IS A PRETTY WIDE PIECE OF BASEBOARD,
BUT THAT'S BECAUSE THE TOP OF IT IS ONE PIECE.
IT'S, UM, THE DETAIL ON IT.
THAT'S CORRECT. I USUALLY START NAILING
ABOUT 3 FEET INTO THE WALL TO LET THIS CORNER FLOAT
SO THAT WHEN WE COPE, WE CAN ADJUST THE CORNERS...
OH, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
WITHOUT TAKING A PRY BAR INTO IT.
AND I USUALLY START AT THE BOTTOM.
LINE ON UP.
OK, AND THE NEXT PIECE WE'VE GOT HERE IS THE CHAIR RAIL.
AND THIS IS THE POPLAR THAT'S BECOME SO POPULAR.
YOU'LL FIND IT EVERYWHERE NOW IN THE INTERIOR TRIM WORK.
RIGHT IN HERE.
WE PREDETERMINED THAT THE HEIGHT OF 3'6"
WOULD LOOK BEST AT THIS PROFILE.
THIS MOLDING IS A DUPLICATE OF AN OLD-FASHIONED PICTURE MOLDING
AND THIS DETAIL UP HERE IS WHERE THE HANGER WOULD BE, YOU SET IT UP THERE,
AND THEN PUT THE PICTURE OFF OF IT.
WE'RE READY TO PUT THIS ON,
AND IT'S GONNA GO RIGHT IN THIS SPOT RIGHT HERE,
GET IN THERE. A LITTLE BIT TIGHT.
WE'RE PLACING IT APPROXIMATELY 6 INCHES BELOW
THE TOP OF THE HEAD JAMB CASING
GOOD. GOOD RIGHT THERE.
READY? YEP.
WHY DON'T YOU USE A LEVEL ON THIS, DENNIS?
ESPECIALLY IN RENOVATIONS
THAT YOU MEASURE FROM THE TOP OF THE HEAD CASING DOWN,
SO IF THERE'S ANY DISCREPANCIES IT WON'T SHOW OUT OF LEVEL.
RIGHT, BECAUSE A LOT OF THE OLD HOUSES, THEY WERE NEVER LEVEL ANYWAY.
OK, SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE READY FOR THE CROWN NOW, AREN'T WE?
YES, WE ARE. OK.
WE'VE GOT A 3-PIECE CROWN SYSTEM GOING UP HERE NOW.
THIS IS THE TEMPLATE THAT I MADE TO GET OUR DIMENSIONS
AND ALL WE COULD DO TO SEE HOW IT ALL FITS TO THE WALL.
WE'RE GONNA PUT UP A SQUARE END CUT RIGHT NOW.
OK, GOOD.
AGAIN, LIKE THE BASEBOARD, I LET THE ENDS FLOAT ABOUT 3 FEET,
SO WHEN I COPE MY ENDS I CAN ADJUST ACCORDINGLY.
OK, THAT'S THE SECOND PIECE OF CROWN
WHICH IS 2 INCHES BY 2 INCHES, A PRETTY SOLID PIECE.
BUT THEN WHAT THAT'S GONNA DO IS REALLY BUILD IT UP OFF THE WALL.
OK, SO COMING AROUND THE CORNER WE'VE ALREADY MADE THE COPE.
WE'VE ALSO BACK CUT THIS SECTION HERE
SO WE'RE SURE THE PART THAT HITS THE MATERIAL IS OUT ON FRONT.
HOW DOES THAT LOOK, DENNIS?
A LITTLE BIT TO ME, PLEASE.
AT THE BOTTOM.
THERE'S YOUR OTHER PIECE.
THANK YOU.
THAT'S JUST A BUTT JOINT, ISN'T IT?
THAT'S CORRECT.
OK, RIGHT THERE LOOKS GOOD.
AND I'M READY TO NAIL IF YOU ARE.
OK, GO FOR IT.
AGAIN, I ALWAYS KEEP IT ABOUT 3 FEET AWAY FROM THE WALL
TO ADJUST THE COPE JOINTS.
AND I DON'T NAIL MY TOP UNTIL THE COPE JOINTS ARE DONE, ALSO.
THIS WILL ACTUALLY LOCK IN PLACE RIGHT NOW, IT WILL NOT FALL.
MORE DETAILS ON INSTALLING CUSTOM WOOD MOLDINGS
ARE AVAILABLE AT...
THIS IS A COPE JOINT, WHICH YOU DO BY MITERING THE PROFILE
AND THEN REMOVING THE WASTE OFF THE BACK
SO IT'LL FIT GOOD AND TIGHT IN THE CORNER.
THEN PROCEED TO NAIL THE TOP PORTION OF THE CROWN.
OK, GOOD. BOY, THAT LOOKS GREAT.
WITH THE AMOUNT OF MILL WORK THEY'VE GOT GOING ON IN HERE,
THEY'RE REALLY FORTUNATE TO HAVE SOMEONE OF YOUR TALENT PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S A BUNCH OF IT IN HERE.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
OK, WELL YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB.
THANK YOU. BYE-BYE.
ALL OF THE TRIM IN THE DINING ROOM IS REALLY GONNA LOOK GREAT
ONCE IT'S PAINTED OUT, AND WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE
PAINTING SOME OF THE OTHER ROOMS WITH HISTORIC CHARLESTON COLORS.
BUT THAT'S ALL THE TIME WE HAVE FOR TODAY.
COME HOME AGAIN NEXT TIME WHEN WE'LL BE VISITING MIDDLETON PLACE,
A FABULOUS PLANTATION GARDEN THAT HAS SURVIVED SINCE THE 18th CENTURY.
AND WE'LL BE WORKING ON OUR OWN LANDSCAPE DESIGN.
TILL THEN, I'M BOB VILA.
IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU HOME AGAIN.
