    Need some advice here. How do you sucessfully lay skirting board when all the wall are not plumb or square? It's moulded skirting so I no that for internal corners the joints will be scribed. can do that but how do you work out the angles on eternal corners when they are not at 45 deg on a 90 deg cut? Kadman looking at you here I reckon. You might be able to help out with advice on doing it using the chop saw that we both have?

    Given that your going using a mitre saw Just get 2 waste pieces of timber Cut your 45 deg Check them off the wall Adjust your angle off the mitre saw to suit
