ie trim, moulding, base, and a cp miter saw.

I do appreciate the help, oh geez I hope I'm able to get the inside corners right and the angles on the door

I'm going to be doing some moulding and trim work in my bedrooms to begin with and I had a cple of questions.

what type of wood floors did you use?

very nice job

Correct, tile for showers, it is not recommended... On a side note note I own a residential cleaning business and I see many that are in stick built homes that always seem to leak from day one.

I was thinking of putting some type of board (wonder, durock) or something down that would help the tile from cracking. They are n...
