Last weekend, I had the good fortune to show my son how to install wood baseboard and interior door casing. We’re in the final stages of finishing over 1,000 square feet of living space in the basement of his three-year-old home. We only work on Saturdays because of his job constraints, and Sunday is a day of worship and rest for me.
This project began 15 months ago. It took quite a few weeks to frame all of the 2x4 walls that were installed next to the cast concrete foundation walls, as well as all the interior walls that created the individual rooms. I remember telling my son, “The time we take now to get these rough walls perfect will pay off in spades when it comes time to do all the finish carpentry.”
