Doorway Moulding

My next step was to add the doorway moulding. When I did the baseboard moulding I placed Plinth Boards and the bottom corners of the entryways. The Entryway moulding gets set on top the Plinth boards.

Doing the entryway case moulding is as simple as cutting 45 degree angles on the saw.

The trick is to get the boards to come together perfectly with no gaps. It is easier to cut the moulding long and trim compared to cutting it too short. In my case? I don't know what my measuring tape was measuring, but I cut the threshold case moulding way too short requiring another trip to the hardware store for another board.

You may find it impossible to get a perfect seam between two 45 degree cuts. A small gap can be filled in with caulk.

Once I had everything cut and confirmed it got together, I nailed it into place.

The nail holes get filled with a little bit of caulk, wiped clean with my finger to make a smooth covering for the nail.

Now the entry way's case moulding is completed for both entryways.
