Hi everyone,
First time post. I'd like to just get some input on a job I'm doing. I'm trimming out a house and doing wainscoting pillars for a client. Everything will be painted and made up from MDF and primed pine. They want this look but a lot wider
And they want them installed around the 2x4 post in the middle of this picture.
So usually the contractor has the column drywalled out and they usually want them relative to the size of the post that is there. So usually I would just make up the frames and attach them working around with dominos and glue, no big deal. But they would like me to make the pillar size approximately 2ft wide around. Would it be easier and faster in your opinions to just make up the 12ft panels and work around gluing and attaching with blocking as needed or should I take the time to frame out the column with 2x's and attach to that.
I think I should frame out the column but I'm basically just looking for any input or better ideas for getting it done quickly but more importantly correctly.
Thanks
Scott
