No corner walls are at 90 degrees (right angle) in the house

[Jack]

Almost every corner walls in the house are a little larger than 90 degrees.
Not much of a problem until you lay tile or butt a bathroom vanity against a
corner or install base and crown moldings.

Even when the corners are at 90 degrees with new sheet rock but by the time
you lay paper and mud the corners its a little over 90 degrees. I've been
doing little adjustments when doing bathroom installations or installing
moldings but sure would nice to have walls at 90 degrees.

with the thinset you can make it 90*

or butt a bathroom vanity against a
| corner

you always install fillers against the wall so the doors can open 90*
and so the drawers will not hit the baseboard.

or install base

well,what can I say.................caulking.

and crown moldings.

coped crown moldings don't need 90* corners

What else is new?

Tip: For the crown cut and label opposing short strips from like 87-92
degrees. Some combo of the left and right will make a nice tight fit in
almost every corner. Then just adjust you cut on the real board to match.

What's with the Yanks obsession with straight lines and 90 degrees anyway?
Boy does the old USA look boring from Google Earth!

Check out Manhattan. It looks like a newbie urban planner sobered up
as they worked their way North.

Doing my vanity, a little off at the corner translates to about 3/4" off at
the edge of the vanity top where the end splash couldn't hide. Had to remove
the stone top and grind off the material to fit the corner.

If the flag isn't flying at 90 degrees you may need a chemical solution for
complete satisfaction.

On a freezing day in the winter, in a house with NO heat...why did the moron go to the corner of the room, AND STAY THERE? Because someone told him the corner was 90*.
