BEWARE of these HUGE SKIRTING BOARD MISTAKES!

Video Description

In this DIY project, I tackled installing new skirting/baseboards all by myself — no help, just determination, trial and error, and a lot of learning! From internal corners and external corners, to perfecting scribe joints and mastering mitre cuts at a 45-degree angle, I tested just about every method you can think of. I experimented with various methods of fixing to the wall on stud walls to brick and masonry walls. Whether you're wondering about the best way to secure skirting to the longest wall, how to cut to the correct length, or if you should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, I cover it all — including what I did wrong (and how you can avoid the same beginner mistakes). But was it all worth it? And how did it turn out in the end? You’ll have to watch until the end to see the final result...
