As the title suggests I got a friend who is a multi purpose builder to help me with my AV installation.
He also added new skirting boards around the whole living room. The main one which sits on the TV wall has 4 cut-out holes for double plug sockets to sit into. The actual skirting has split right down the centre parallell to the foor. When I asked him about this he said it was the poor quality wood. Obviously I said to him why did he use it if it's poor quality? He said he had no choice as all the wood in England is prepared really badly.
Basically, I'm wandering if all the other skirting is going to warp/crack/shrink/etc now? Should I be concerned about this.
I'm annoyed because the carpet was supposed to be fitted tomorrow but I have to cancell it and I don't know what to do – new skirting or do you think this one will be ok ie fill the indent in the main TV skirting. Someone has recommended using mdf? Basically I want something of quality that isn't going to warp etc
Cheers in advance!
