Baseboard trim in a room - PEM BB dimensional.straw.baseboardtrim

This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Dimensional Lumber Woodworking.

Baseboard trim make a room look complete, covers the edge of the flooring and protects the walls from aggressive vacuum cleaners.  Let's install or replace some baseboard trim in a room!

 
 

Here's a gentleman showing us how to do it:


Minimum requirements:
  - Install baseboard trim around the perimeter of a room
  - Use real wood, not an engineered product
  - Nails or brads, no adhesives except if you want to glue miters and scarfs together
  - Tight gaps in all joints.  Clearly smaller gaps than the thickness of a credit card.

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - The room in need of baseboard trim
  - The trim you're going to install
  - Midway through the install
  - Finished trim installation showing each corner has tight joints
