Joining baseboard

Don't just butt your baseboard together. This seam is going to stick out. Scarf them instead. Set your saw to 45, cut your first piece. Whenever possible, plant this joint on a stud. That gives both pieces something to nail to, so you're not relying on drywall. When you go to measure, measure your long point of 45 in your next piece to this edge here. Mark. Make sure that the long point of the 45 ends up on your mark and cut it. Pay attention to the direction of your cuts. You want one piece to overlap the other. Now, instead of a square butt joint, you have a scarf joint. Once you have it right where you want it, fasten it. Fill your nail holes, fill the seam, paint. Fill it and paint it and you can barely see it. So, when you're doing long runs, don't just put your butt joints together. 45 both pieces opposite of each other and overlap and you'll be a lot happier. Anyways, I got to get this garage cleaned. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
