Molding question
I am putting up some new molding in my house. The old molding was your typical 70's/80's colonial casing. The new molding is straight, fluted casing. On certain doorways the drywall is not level with the doorway. So when I hold up the new molding there is a gap on one side. The old molding seemed to hide this better.
Should I put a line of paintable caulk to close the gap? Any other suggestions?

Moulding
Caulking as you suggest is the easiest solution. Another possibility is to use a belt sander to sand down the back side of the moulding where the drywall is high so that the moulding will drop down into the lower places on the drywall. Good luck with your project.
