Mrs. Dee wanted to upgrade her bedroom/office and she needed a few repairs in the bedroom. Her new
tenet would arrive in three days.
This post shows the nine steps to caulking the new baseboard moldings.
Step 1: Fig.1 and
fig.2 shows the
baseboards are not caulked, see the gap between the wall and the moldings. Caulked baseboards protect you from bugs that find molding a nice meal and home. Caulking gives the home molding a clean look.
