Well folks, it's therapy time. I was putting in base boards in my
house. There must be 12 bull nose corners to be done. I set the first
one, the rounded prefab 90 degree outside corner type, and it went

everywhere, the corners were moving... not lining up. I lost it. One of

Base is a real pain around those round corners but crown is even

square corner that's about 6" tall that solves the problem...? The
sheet rock guys install the bottom square piece and then the round
corner sits on top of it. They are manufactured to fit together and
the whole purpose is to give a square corner for the base board and
still have the round corner up the rest of the wall.
