Fitting Baseboard Trim 
I would like to know what is the proper method to put baseboard trim up. I am particularly interested in a method to make the corners (inside or outside) match up correctly. Theoretically, one should be able to just cut a 45 degree angle on the mating pieces and everything will be ok, but most walls are not square. What is the easiest way to make these joints match up?

Re: Fitting Baseboard Trim 
Usually they don’t match perfectly. I usually glue the corners, fire a couple of nails in them and then if one side protrudes more than the other I use sandpaper to smooth them down. The a little caulk and you should be good to go. You can also cut a few small pieces at 44, 45 and 46 degrees. Then seen what matches up best.
