Very Helpful

@westend34 find the angle of the wall and split it in half
if the # is 89 degrees, then 44.5 is the angle
if the # is 92 degrees, then 46 is the angle

@westend34 I found an angle finding tool at home depot that works pretty well. It's just a simple compass with a long, rotating arm, cost just a few bucks.

this is great, I have been doing it all wrong.

Great TIP do you know how to do coffered ceiling?

hire a taper that knows enough to use a 14" trowel on the corners. jeez laweeze.

@westend34 You can get an angle finder off of amazon.com. Just type in angle finder in the search. Those work good for finding the slightly off corner.

There are a lot of videos that target uneven walls, but what if the concrete floor is uneven and the baseboards don't sit flat on the floor? How do you go about installing the baseboards? I would really appreciate your insight. Thanks

@madonnabadgirl If the concrete is the finished floor and the flat(bottom) part of the baseboard is fairly significant in size you could always scribe the base to the floor, or you could always add ( glue and pin nail) to the bottom of the baseboard scribe and use a belt sander with a course belt to fit to the floor. Hope this helps +++ Bob

great tip bob...but how will i know how much to offset the 45 cut?

If it's drywall corner, it is usually over 45 degrees but if you take 2 small pieces of basboard and do a couple of test pieces, it is usually easy to figure it out in just a couple of trys. Hope that helped!
