The warden has decreed that there will be crown molding in our dining room. I have never installed crown before but have been reading up on it. The molding that she wants is about 5' high so the opening between the rear of the molding and the wall/ceiling will be pretty large. I was thinking of taking a 2" square board and cutting it on a 45 degree along it's length. Then attach the board along where the wall and ceiling intersect and then nail the crown to this board.
Is this a good idea?
Also, I assume that the coping will be the major hurdle. Is there any easy way to cope?
TIA, Joe
