Cut list & field notes
Baseboard runs — 4 @ 16' sticks
Cope or mitre inside corners; scarf long walls at 45° over a stud.
Door casing legs — 2 @ 81" (typical 6'8" door)
Set a consistent 3/16" reveal off the jamb edge.
Window casing — 2 @ 4 pieces per window
Cut the head last so the mitres close tight.
Shoe mould — 4 @ 16' sticks
Nail shoe to the baseboard, not the floor, so the floor can move.
