ofindividual fancy. Fig. 12 shows a one-part baseboard usedmore often in the second floor than in thefirst story. While it costs more I recom-mend and nearly always use a three-partbase similar to Fig. 11. The base mold over-lapping the base allows for settling, and Iprefer the quarter round carpet strip be-cause it will be nailed to the floor insteadof to the base, as the nails will be drivenin slanting there will be a neat join at thefloor and also at the base.
