Show FIRST AID TO AILING HOUSES By Roger Whitman QUESTION: Is there anything that I could use to fill rather wide cracks which have appeared between be-tween baseboard and moulding? ANSWER: That Joint can be closed with a form of moulding called quarter-round. This should be attached not to the baseboard or flooring, but by long nails passing at an angle through the opening between be-tween baseboard and flooring and into the timber behind. There will be continual movement In the flooring floor-ing and baseboard through the seasons, sea-sons, and secured In this manner the joint will remain covered. |
