When putting up CM in a simple 4 sided room, what's the best way to deal
with the last piece - i.e. does one use a coped joint on each end?

I was considering putting up the first piece with one end coped, and fitted
over a small piece of scrap on the adjacent wall, the scrap being a proxy
for the last piece. Then when I get to the last piece, slip out the scrap
and slide the real piece in there. Am a little concerned about it being too
tight, though.

Any tips would be appreciated.


Start on the opposite wall of the door. Butt both of these ends to
the wall. then work counterclockwise around if you are right-handed
(clockwise if left-handed). Then next wall will be coped on one end
and butted to the opposite wall. And yes, the last wall will have two
coped ends. HTH
