I am planning on doing something similar with my bathroom. Did you just use quarter round moulding or was there a particular type or style of moulding that you used? I couldn't really tell from the video but I like the look and the way the moulding brings it together.
I used a basic 1/4 round. But I also have used the same molding but in 1” flat. Depends on what look you want. Either way it really cleans up the lines and finishes the project. I’d suggest using the flexible composite molding over the solid wood molding. Just my personal preference but it’s more consistent with look, condition and is more flexible.
What kind of trim are you using to cover the holes in the shiplap? Is one side flat? We are installing white shiplap this weekend in our downstairs bathroom.
I’m using a PVC composite molding commonly used to trim out baseboards and door casings. I like the composite material because it’s more consistent and flexible than the real wood molding. It comes in white and you usually don’t even need to paint it. But I use the quarter round or flat style depending on preference
I used a vanilla white from bear at Home Depot. I usually do the paint & primer combo for good coverage. In an eggshell finish so it’s somewhat sealed and won’t absorb moister as much since it’s in a wet area. I attached the trim with small finish nails and just used a white filler for the few holes.
With this install it was very tight behind the tank of the toilet. But there was just enough space to slide the piece of shiplap straight down. So hopefully there would be enough space/gap. All you need is about 3/8”-3/4” maybe?
Like as far as how wide across the wall they needed to go? I just measures the wall exactly and then cut about 1/4”-1/8” less to give some room for variance in the drywall. I cut and measured about every 3-4 boards because some houses walls differ a lot as the corners go up. So cut a few and make sure your keeping that tiny gap from the corner. That way you can cover it with your trim piece at the end
I don't see a point to keep those old outdated baseboards, seems like too much hassle for something that will be ripped off eventually, the bathroom is small enough and it wouldn't cost much to replace baseboards.
I agree. But in this case it was for a client, so I did as they wanted and just made it look good. If it were up to me I may have updated the whole bathroom with new baseboard :)
This is funny I do custom trim for million dollar houses and that’s not how you do that bottom piece lol I have no idea what you did there you got lines everywhere you don’t cut a piece and flip it and use the bottom as your cut out plus you never use a grinder on wood I don’t even know what you use that for just super weird the walls theirs self are easy it’s the bottom fit for me is all wrong
This was a great informative video. Thank you for making it. !!
Thank you!!
If you scribe that piece of trim, great job

Great video! Did you put the caulk along the 1/4-round and shiplap interface? Or just where the baseboard met?
Just where the baseboard met. The trim/round over had a symmetrical look and didn’t want to gunk it up with caulk.
@@FortKnoxCo thanks!

What paint did you use? And how did you attached the trim? Thanks.

How did you get it behind the toilet? Does the backpack have some wiggle room as far as wall gap? Mine is right up against the wall

What width did you measure each board out to?

@@FortKnoxCo I understand I thought that clients aren’t critical thinkers.

Post your own video
Looks like for misery and agony 😉
its not all too bad. this project is pretty easy
Would have been nice if you actually showed the installation and not just tooting your own horn.
🇺🇸Thank you
Always the haters hating. Thanks for the video!
