June 2007 ~ Creative Crown Molding

[Edited May 2, 2008]
My job in this unoccupied residence was to install painted crown molding around the ceilings of the kitchen, breakfast, formal dining room, entryway and front hall. With this client a horizontal baseboard is installed underneath the crown molding. The above photo depicts the start of this process. I have come to rely on Zip-Wall spring-loaded poles to assist in support and precise positioning before shooting any nails.


Crown set against base. Midway through.


I am also painting this molding with a first coat before installation. This I do on sawhorses in the family room.
