I'm being introduced to the delights of a mitre box when trying to install ceiling coving. To me the task of installing coving is like the Crypton Factor.
If I had a perfectly square room it would be easy.
But in the corner from ceiling to floor there is a pipe box (pipe coming through ceiling and feeding a radiator).
The pipe box protrudes about 3 to 4 inches from the wall and is about 4 inches square.
How would fit coving around the box? Or would I just cut the coving flat to meet the box corners and not even bother trying to hide the box with coving?
I figure that the worst case scenario is that I completely c*ck up the whole exercise and end up wasting about £20 maximum which, for a failed DIY job, is pretty good.
