Hi all.
The bedroom I have just finished laying engineered w/wood flooring in
has a concrete base in front of the chimney breast (old victorian
terrace)
This concrete base was a little higher than the floorboards and has
resulted a slight rise at the edge but enough to mess up the skirting
that will cover this part
of the wall.
I've got some idea of how to trim the bottom edge of the skirting to
fit it level
and join up with the adjacent piece(s).
eg draw horizontal line on wall from top edge of adjacent piece,
then measure heights at regular intervals.
But this idea requires good skills with hand tools, eg plane. And I'm
**** with a plane.

Has anyone got a more foolproof idea?

Router in a table?

Electric plane followed by sanding block?

Surform follow3ed by ditto.

Everyone is '**** with a plane'

The answer is to do it a little at a time,. check frequently,. and
expect the job to take all day, and be chuffed when its finished by teatime.
