My sister asked me to help remove the old skirting boards, or baseboards, from her bedroom and replace them with new ones her hubby had bought and painted. No worries! I said... except this would be my first time attempting the task. So it was straight on the blower to my mate Shane at@diyforknuckleheads for some advice on tools and coping internal corners and scarfing joints, which I then completely disregarded. ? Let's see how it all worked out for me...
