You saying the needed shoe...to properly attach trim to a plaster wall. You're reaching bro.im telling you why it was often used in older houses. Yes it’s was used as a decorative piece under stair treads 50-100 years ago. So what. I’m telling you why it’s not needed or used these days unless you do shit work or are lazy or a combo of both.

housepicks Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 I've built thousands and thousands of houses,townhomes,condos..whatever. Shoe on all hard floors. Of course in Chicago our electric goes in conduit.Our water lines are in copper.Our drains our cast iron.The use of flexible duct is extremely limited. In other words, we have some of the strictest building codes in the entire country. Unions are strong here. You fucks living in scab country where people make peanuts to do construction work are never a group I'd go to to ask advice or model any of my efforts or opinions after.

KingRevolver Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Guys, sometimes work not done the same. All depends in the area. Houses in Northeast build a bit differently than houses in Southwest, and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not into that little baby piece of rounded trim In my last house I stripped off all the square corner bead and rounded the edges for a modern look. I used these pieces so that it was a square corner for the trim and 1/4 round and it transitioned to round as it went up the wall.

Brick Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 looks Good diabler, that is the correct way. We leave a little more gap between wood/tile due to our extreme weather changes from season to season causing expansion and contraction. As long as your wood was acclimated properly you have little risk of any problem there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAG Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 sleepy is gonna turn into one of those cat ladies that has 100 of them I can see how that could happen. 100 no, but a few. I’ve managed to limit myself to 1, but if I found a reliable pet sitter I would probably add another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVU Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Not sure what the argument is in here but 1/4 round is predominantly used to cover cut edges that may not be perfect. Ideally the drywall should sit on top of the tile so there would be no cut lines to hide. But you still find 1/4 round in houses everywhere. Some like the look. But if the tile (and drywall) is cut properly it isn't necessary. I prefer nice wood trim with caulking pushed into the gap in bathrooms.

Brick Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 House claimed that the correct way is quarter round every single time on hard surfaces. I informed him of the uses of quarter round but he argues that he has built thousands of houses and he is in a union with the strictest codes in America and that it is a must on every single floor besides carpet. He called sleepy cheap for not having quarter round, but quarter round is the cheapest thing that can be done to cover up a lazy persons bad craftsmanship.
