Want to install borders on my new floor

[dmlegare]

Hello.

I just installed a laminate floor (real newbee when it comes to home improvement - bought first home!!) and now want to put add the trim/border around the wall. Im going to HomeDepot today to get a Compound Miter Saw (nothing expensive!).

Can anyone offer any advice, good web links, etc... on how to cut the trim around the walls? The room has a fireplace as well so Im alittle nervous about all of the corners I need cut

thanks..

before you do all that have you left an expansion gap all
the way round

secure the trim to wall edging not the floor
take your time start with longest lengths first
if you make a mistake it will fit elswear

just take your time measure twice cut once

have two 5 inch bits off your molding with an external angle end
and an internal the other end at 45% so you can put them together
to see if the angle needs to be increased or decreased
to give you a tight mitre at each individual corner
youll be luck to get any at exactly 90%
