Help! ceiling/crown molding problem
Comments (5)Thank you for your suggestions. The sheetrock/paint guy came out this afternoon, and in checking over the ceiling we discovered that one joist (installed 20 yrs ago) must have been narrower than the others, because there is a wave across the ceiling. It wasn't noticeable til the crown went up. raehelen, Yes, I'm from MN! thank you, but our crown is actually in one piece, so that eliminates certain fixes. alku05's kitchen looks great, but I'm not sure what you were referencing about the angle piece. My sheetrock guy, who is just wonderful, is going to remove the crown, mud it and make it level. I think it's all going to work out, but I'm rather irritated at the GC who could have been much more proactive. I'm so ready to be done with this and it hasn't even been two months!...See MoreHelp with cabinet crown molding in kitchen with low ceiling.
Comments (5)Yes, we're having the cabinets made. They're framed cabinets from Kraftmaid, and come in 3 inch increments for height. I could have gone with 30, but then there's a lot of room left at the top, and I don't want a big crown. 33 inch gives me more storage space and still leaves just enough room for a 3/4 inch or 1 inch crown at the top. I want something straight as Sophie Wheeler suggested, not something that is angled. They have something called "solid stock" that is finished on 3 sides and gives you some flexibility in placement. Same for the light rail - just a straight edge mounted so it comes out slightly beyond the bottom of the cabinet....See Morekitchen remodel - need help - crown molding
Comments (16)There is a reason that that cabinet seller is no longer with the company. She messed up quite a bit. And I mean a LOT. That design is not acceptable. And you are a ways from needing to be concerned about crown. You need to invite the company owner to come to the job site and fix more than just the crown molding. Simply ask him, "Is this a kitchen that you could easily cook in?". If he says yes, he is lying. If he is honest and says no, ask him what he is going to do to make it right....See MoreCrown Molding Help - Uneven Ceilings
Comments (15)Does no one hire a cabinet installer with enough skill for scribing anymore? It used to be standard. This is way extra from what needs to happen with a horizontal filler and the ceiling, but the principal is the same. https://www.jlconline.com/products-tools/power-tools/scribing-wood-to-stone_o...See MoreNav
