It's actually just like the room shape you have here. If it looks half as good as yours I'll be very happy.

Sometimes square and Level just don't look right! Maybe doing what we call half and half where you just split the difference and see what that looms like?Kev Alvitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992625860900617194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081662385488791554.post-63058591344671330832016-04-26T05:05:01.256-07:002016-04-26T05:05:01.256-07:00I also have an old house without a straight wall o...I also have an old house without a straight wall or a right angle in it. So I just pick one wall and square off that? I've been trying to square it at both ends to the walls. And getting myself frustrated. The 345 thing works at one end but not the other. So I just go with one correct side? Have I been over thinking this whole thing? Gah. <br />Great post. I'll be referring to this A LOT! And the one where you put the shelves in.

Luckily there was a join there anyway so it made it easier. In hindsight I probably would have just rolled it back where the door is to save having a second joint in it but with carpet tape you won't even be able to tell. Thanks for your comment.
