frustrations

There's actually quite a bit done on the house....

And a million more things to do...

Working upstairs I found that the ceiling actually pushes up and down against the wall and there seems to be no single straight edge in the ceiling. This means the only way to get a decent seal is to add mouldings, the problem is, there are no straight lines. 

So, while the top of the moulding is butted against the ceiling at the sloped wall and the other end is up against the ceiling at the wall end, the center has a gap. The ceiling has an angle to it.

Look at where the ceiling and angled wall meet. try following that with a straight edge.

The same problem existed on the long wall, aligned at both ends means the center is bowed. So I either have an arched moulding, (an uneven arch) or i mount and fill. I opted for fill. Hopefully when painted it wont be so noticeable. I have also decided not to use the ceiling as a paint line. If I paint the ceiling color down the angled walls and bring the line down to match on the long walls before switching color it may take the accent off that area. 

  
The photo below really shows the gap on the left moulding, The right moulding will actually run true, and is currently just inplace by being wedged between the moulding and the wall.
