Baseboard and uneven floors
Ok,
I'm replacing some baseboard that uses no shoe mold. At the end of one long length of wall, the wood floor rises almost a 3/16" just at the end of the wall. I need to join the mold at the end of this wall as it turns a corner with an outside miter. As you can guess, with the bump in the floor the corner miter is about 3/16" high on the one side. Any ideas how to compensate without a shoe mold?

Without a baseshoe, about the only thing you can do is scribe the baseboard, and cut off the scribed portion (the area where the floor is high). The problem this creates is- where do you quit scribing it? Figuring out where you will start and stop scribing is important.

Me too
I am running into the same problem. I have a few corners where the wood floor meets the carpet. The wood floor sits about 3/16 to 1/4 inch above the carpet. Does anybody have a little trick to use at the joint.
I was thinking about cutting the top of the higher piece down at an angle so that there is somewhat of a slope.
One of the joints I will be looking at every day, so any help is greatly appreciated.
