Looks good 7D but just one thing really bothered me,,, The base board isn't finished around the wood stove.

I know. 🙈

Im still there doing tile in a half bath, and a punch list, and trying to figure out how to finish it off.

It’s only 4” tall, so I need to go mess around with it and see if a vertical piece, mitered, will work.

I honestly didn’t know how to do it, so I just had my guy run them out to the end.

Tops of stairs where the second floor baseboard ends at the top step is another one that gets me.

This spot right here. I just run it to the end and paint the end. 😳🙄 Don’t know if that’s the right way to do it.

You could do a mitered return for the base at the stairs. Those look pretty nice.

Maybe a plinth block for the base on the fireplace? I have done a waterfall type of miter on a step down like that as well. I'll see if I have a picture.

Never saw that style before. That looks sharp.

Thanks. That was my first trim job, so I wasn't really aware of how they were usually done. I just needed a solution to make it look nice and that's what I came up with.

Looks great! That's the way we've always done them.

Don't like it. I like a nice stringer with the molding on top. Or just nicely fitted treads and risers.

Works good on longer runs as it is it's own element (goes better in combination with wainscotting though) but on shorter ones, to me, looks out of place... but either works and everyone has different tastes... in reality, after looking at it the first time, the homeowner will likely rarely think about it again...

Yup, 2 weeks and it disappears from sight.

For the one step up, looks nice. I agree about a whole flight, though.

That's cool! Did you reinvent the wheel with common sense? ( Meant in a very good way) That shows the talent, right there. When in doubt, improvise for an elegant solution.

@Seven-Delta-FortyOne

the step miters look good.

At the top of the stairs, I think the best and only option is to miter return the base into the wall

That's move that been done for many many years. I'm glad someone had a pic of it so I didn't have to draw a pic with my words,, I suck at that.

Thanks. 👍

“return the base into the wall”. Are you saying put a 45 on the end, instead of a square cut?

 

[Leo G]

Yes, so it has the profile on the end. It'll be a little 3/4x3/4xhypotenuse cut.

 

[Seven-Delta-FortyOne]

Right. I see.

I do that with tile base all the time. 🙄 Don’t know why I didn’t think of that with wood base. 😳

Thanks 👍

 

[Leo G]

Plus it hides the cut on the back of the molding. But you can
just caulk that
