Vaulted Ceiling Crown molding job

Helping out the family business by being the "cut" man running the miter box cutting the silly expensive crown molding.

Fair bit of math involved, all molding cut on the 'flat' on the saw, so had to do the math to figure out what needed to be done to cut inside uphill, downhill corners. The most difficult part was the outside and inside 45 degree corners.

Took 3 guys 12 hours to do this, however the first 3 hours involved a little bit of trial and error.

@100PercentGreen Yup, a fair amount of math, we did all the cuts w/o a jig. The only surprise we ran into was after snapping chalk lines around the room @ the anticipated distance from the ceiling. We failed to consider that the walls parallel to the ridge, had to have the line move up 1.25" because the ceiling moved up that much in 5 inches. The walls at a 45 to the ridge had to move up 5/8" Once that was sorted, it went pretty quickly.

My head is hurting just thinking of all the measurements and math that had to be undertaken. Very nice results!
