Lee, I agree that molding covers a multitude of sins. The problem with my little charity case, is the fellow that did the work before I, shouldn't be allowed a screw or a hammer. He was terrible in everything he did. You should see the way he has the windows framed in. The way he put up the T one eleven, or the way he covered up the bathroom to try to hide things he knew nothing about. Or even the way he had the electrical boxes fasten to the wall. Even a blind fellow could fel the mess up. (Being nice). We have every thing done, except putting in the new windows. Which I will be installing when I come back from my trip, in a couple of weeks.

R J, I guess you are finding out that there are many so called" cobbed jobs" out there in home repairs. we actually had a well paid carpenter, so he called himself, in this house before we bought it. His comment ," without wide molding there is no good carpenters" that statement has left me Leery of hired help. we had a similar problem here 4 years ago when we paid to much to have windows and siding installed. I was here when the contract was signed to replace any bad wood. I'll not share here the language I used to the actual contractor who covered up or cobbed work. Now keep in mind, unless I was to tell the next owner of same said property they will never know the mistakes hidden as I'm told by sighted folks the finished work looks outstanding. so for any of you hiring someone , besides reading someones made up report of how well" " John boy" did on Marys house, see if you can find someone who used that contractor.
