I've done crown molding ONCE..Two lessons learned for ME, Caulk is your friend, and NEVER do it again..lol.. It came out great guys..Thanks for sharing..
Okay old ppl here who have totally redone a large double wide. Were paint drywall contractors in another life. Also hubby was a Navy electrician. Owned many homes...two things caulk and drywall mud fixes a world of things. And don't worry about the optics of the paint! When you get flooring, furniture, curtains in you won't even notice it. You are doing great and your boys are learning from parents with a strong work ethic.
Tried and true method....that's what caulking is for. Caulking saved me from many a breakdown because of my perfectionism. Room looks great!!!! And yes...as excited as you are 😜😜
My Mom taught me the most valuable lesson in remodeling when she told me, "With enough caulk and paint, you can make anything look good!". Words to live by!
LIFE = learning in fails everyday You are more life ologist in so many, many different ways. You are truthful and you teach us more than you think. You are both so cute and compliment each other in your never give up efforts. Love watching your family!! Texas
@@GreenAcreHomestead hey Sam did you aleast put a dollar behind a piece of crown molding. I work with a old trim guy use to do it all the time lol he said it was for the guy that had to take it down ps caulking is every diys best friend
Crown moulding is hard! But caulk and paint work well to blend it all in. I would guess that many of us watching have done exactly what you have done. It does look really good!
Sam, I could use a handyman for a few projects. Let me know when you are free. Angela and I can play in the flower beds while you labor.....lol. Just love you two. Love the room. God’s blessings always.
My son is a master trim carpenter and you’ve done a very good job on your first ever try!! And, caulk is a mans best friend, covers lots of little mistakes, and let’s face it, walls and ceiling are not always level or plumb! Great job, great team work 👍
Thank goodness the crown moulding is done! Anything that involves complex miters and I just walk away. My second husband (may he rest in peace) was a contractor and he taught me all about trim, filler, and caulk. (the carpenter's best friends) When you're dealing with a retrofit nothing's gonna be perfect....but, you can make it look perfect. I think your crown moulding looks really nice and you should endorse yourself for a job well done! -- Now, I can hardly wait to see what you're gonna do with the floors :)
Sam and Angela you did a fine job, better than I could ever have done from the start!!! I am so glad you were able to fix it & be very satisfied. Take care
look, new floors new installation, new walls, new paint and the molding which really CAN be fixed, chill kids y'all have done a wonder job you took a room in desperate need and built it from the ground up good fricking job i am so proud and happy for y'all. at least you stuck at it and finished it. you won't hear any bitching from me!!!!
😂😂 I'm an Angela painter... Lift it up and turn it back and forth while painting. And hey, thank you for being real. We all appreciate it. We would all end up with it looking the same way.
SAM AND ANGELA, NO ONE IS PERFECT EVEN THE PROFESSIONALS AND IF THEY SAY THEY ARE THEY LIE. YOU BOTH DID A GREAT JOB WIDOING WHAT YOU DO.TH WHAT YOU HAD AND IT LOOKS AMAZING. YOU TWO ARE A GREAT TEAM AND I LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEO'S. GOD BLESS Y'ALL AND KEEP
Looks good Sam and Angela. That molding is a booger. It bugs me when I can't get one right too, but thank goodness for chalk. I think the best is learn to cope for difficult angles. Cover it up!!! Lol
Hi Sam & Angela, Just finished watching your new video, and I wanted to tell ya that I think you guys are really hard on yourselves...!, you both are doing such a beautiful job on your home renovation, it looks awesome, we love watching the videos and even learn a few things here and there from them, they are entertaining too...!, thanks for sharing them with us, we enjoy them very much, we hope all is well, and take care stay safe from your new friends here in Lima Peru George & Carmen
Don't worry guys , even professionals use caulk , . It's an old saying in the building trade , who are the last people in a new build , decorators , because they can make the place look perfect . With paint and filler . Keep up the excellent work and content guys 👍 .
💞 Hello. I like it when I see you have a video out. 😇 wow who would guess that moldings could be do tricky!! That's quite the tools you folks have purchased for the job. 👍🙌🙌 Thanks for the video. See you next time. 🙏☝️👍❤️
I've been waiting for this video, as I will be also doing crown molding in my retirement mobile in Florida. I got to the part with the compass & angle tool and turned it off. Your title had already put fear in me of crown molding, and I knew I wasn't going to be able to measure the molding and do a good job. I got brave and watched the second half this morning; thanks for keeping it real and showing the bad with the good! I saw the gaps and the awesome caulking/fixing part and I was on cloud 9! ☁️ Man, that caulk is a game changer!!!
A buddy of mine who is a contractor always says ,"caulk and paint make what a carpenter ain't " ! Lol!! I have to say I agree as caulk and paint have fixed several of my screw ups! Lol!!
I do crown moulding about once or twice a year. And I never tried measuring partway down a wall and reversing my tape. Y'all did great and learn as you progress👍.
Looks good. I know what you mean about crown molding. A lot of compound miters. I had to put crown molding in an octagonal room and by the end of that job my brain felt like tapioca.
As I see it Sam and Angela, we all strive for perfection. With all the angles you were dealing with I think you did very well. As you said Caulk is your best friend, and it looks perfect.
Crown molding angles are crazy! At one point I thought about doing it in my old house, but watched videos. After way too many videos, I knew I couldn't do it. Anyway. Yours looks awesome. You did a great job!
Just so you know I had some living room kitchen Reno at the beginning of 2020. The molding on your room looks MUCH better than the molding in my duplex. So professionals are not better - just expensive. The room is looking good guys.
Hello from sweden! The formula to cutting angels with miter/compound saws is this: Measure the angle for an outside or inside Corner with a bevel gauge. If it reads 88 degrees you take 180-88 = 92 and then you divide that by 2 =46. So that(46) is the angle you put on your mitersaw . (46 is actually 44 degrees) but beacuse we have a mitersaw we have to think backwards :) All this is beacuse 0 and 90 is the same on a mitersaw. If you put your saw angle at 5 degrees its actually 85. This is called the complementary angle. Hope i helped a little :)
Now that's the kind of music you work too I can get lots done while listening to it of course I love me some good southern gospel to.... Love you guys it's looking good can't wait for the floor
That looks terrific. Caulk is amazing. Sam, you're SO hard on yourself. But these are indeed the kinds of projects that people need to see. They need to see that the reality is that complex miters are REALLY difficult to execute perfectly. Inexperienced DIYers will benefit and take confidence from your project. You two are experienced and still had difficulty with this...and it still turned out great. And that two-color molding illusion is due to the green paint on the facing wall. In the previous paint video, you could see Sam begin to look bilious when he faced that wall...your white molding is no different.
Nice work. I have a similar job I'm doing in my 150 year old farmhouse. And while I have done crown molding before, I have never done it on 60 degree peaks. I gathered some nice tricks from your experience that I hope will help me as I try to tackle my peaks.
I watch a lot of tv shows that are building shows like Mike Holmes and This Old House. There are several hacks to do the crown molding where you aren't pulling out your hair.
We ran into the exact same problem yall did at the peak. The solution is simple! I placed an uncut piece of crown molding up to the peak along the top of wall and ceiling and simply drew a straight line down from the center of peak on the crown molding board and simply cut the line on my saw . Did this to both sides and had a perfect seam at the peak on the crown molding.
Please do not beat yourselves up over not getting these joints to fit any better than you did. I worked as a trim carpenter for a number of years and I installed a LOT of crown molding. It can be pretty darn tough in a room with a flat ceiling but a vaulted ceiling would just be a pure nightmare....especially if the wood was needing to be stained. In fact, I just never did get my joints to look much better than yours in a vaulted ceiling. After you folks got the caulk on, I think it looked GREAT! You guys GO

No, I'm the same way. And always see a couple of old videos afterwards!
Meeeeee
Nope...I do also 😀
My Dad was a professional and he called caulking the carpenter’s friend you did great!
I've done crown molding ONCE..Two lessons learned for ME, Caulk is your friend, and NEVER do it again..lol..

"The Vancouver Carpenter," on UA-cam, said, "a little caulk and a little paint, makes a carpenter what he ain't!"
My husband and I remodeling our home(trailer). We have learned a lot. My husband Lance got me hooked on watching you all.
LIFE = learning in fails everyday
You are more life ologist in so many, many different ways. You are truthful and you teach us more than you think.
You are both so cute and compliment each other in your never give up efforts. Love watching your family!!
Texas
Isnt that what caulking is for? Looks close enough to perfect for me! :)
Bingo!!! :)
@@GreenAcreHomestead hey Sam did you aleast put a dollar behind a piece of crown molding. I work with a old trim guy use to do it all the time lol he said it was for the guy that had to take it down
ps caulking is every diys best friend
You can't make a mistake when you make something with love
Crown moulding is hard! But caulk and paint work well to blend it all in. I would guess that many of us watching have done exactly what you have done. It does look really good!
Caulk and paint will make a carpenter what he ain’t lol
Magic caulk is the best part!! The finish line is within sight! Too cute the boys want to camp out in it already 😂.
Sam, I could use a handyman for a few projects. Let me know when you are free. Angela and I can play in the flower beds while you labor.....lol. Just love you two. Love the room. God’s blessings always.
after you placed the chalking around the molding it looks beautiful.
My son is a master trim carpenter and you’ve done a very good job on your first ever try!! And, caulk is a mans best friend, covers lots of little mistakes, and let’s face it, walls and ceiling are not always level or plumb! Great job, great team work 👍
We all shutter at the prospect of installing crown molding, I too have those vaulted ceilings. Bless your heart.

I'm still loving the colors the boys are going to love growing up in this room.
And you’re the outtakes are the best… My favorite :-)
I want to adopt you both… You are adorable
I love scary movies.. I love watching your nightmare 😆 🤣 😂 Thank you for sharing! Glad I'm not the only one that does these things 👍❤
Thank you so much for showing how to “fix” the gap in crown molding .
Spackle, caulk and paint will make it what it ain't! Perfectly imperfect.
You folks are doing awesome don't sweat the small stuff. Well done I say! ❤️
I stand corrected! Great job on the crown moulding!
Love it. Perfect is an illusion but that looks perfect to me 😍
It looks really good! The best way to learn is from our mistakes.
So true! Which is a good thing considering we have more crown molding to do in the home. LOL
The room I looking awsome. The boys are going to very happy when it's done.
Hi Sam & Angela,I think you did an awesome job.I really love the boys room!The two accent walls are PERFECT!👏👍

Don’t critique it until I say “it’s finished.” The finished crown molding looks fantastic! Good work y’all! 🕊
Looks pretty good to us. Great job Sam and Angela. It doesn’t look bad. Brilliant job guys. We are inspired.
Well I love the room, very proud of you two

Looks great! We are all only human. Can’t wait for the next video!
You can also build a jig with a stop at the correct angle and it makes multiple cuts easier
You guys just crack me up. Being a self doer, it’s just funny
Yay you two!!! Is flooring next? You guys are closer than ever to getting the boys lives back to "normal".
Big hugs! Big respect!
☮️💖🙏🇺🇲

Looks outstanding. Gonna remember the Alex caulk
The crown molding turned out great. I don't know why you guys think it's bad. Looks way better than what some professionals do.

Very helpful to another DIYer who needed the info on crown molding...
Sam it looks wonderful so don't be so hard on yourself.
Hi there
No one is 100% perfect

Great job. With all the work you're doing I find it hard to believe you aren't getting rid of the popcorn ceilings, that was the easiest job for me.

And Behold The Power of Caulk..! Great job guy's 💚💛💙
Was it only me that said to add outtakes to your videos, I think it makes them so much more enjoyable. I literally wait for them to begin.
Loved it! Calk and all. Only God is perfect. We are all a work in progress. Totally love you guys.
Amen to that!!
I watch a lot of tv shows that are building shows like Mike Holmes and This Old House. There are several hacks to do the crown molding where you aren't pulling out your hair.
Caulk is a man's best friend
Looks really nice. I love the idea pleasing both kids with colors.Just as you said never would knew was a lil gap. Great job 👌
We ran into the exact same problem yall did at the peak. The solution is simple!

Looks great! I have done a lot of crown molding and I still make mistakes. At least you guys are not afraid to tackle anything.
It looks so good....don't be so hard on yourself...the end result always looks wonderful.
Looks great!!! What mistakes I see none!!!
Awesome job ! MH's are notorious for being off level and you both made this nightmare job look easy !!
Don’t know about easy, but it wasn’t too bad! 😊
You guys are too funny !! Love from Shreveport !! Anxiously waiting for the next video !!!
