Architraves and skirting

Today I continued with the work we started yesterday and I did some architraves around the wardrobe and door in the room that Warner and I have been doing, once this was done we started on the skirting around the base of the walls, this was done by square cutting the longest wall in the room the scribing the internal corners and mitreing the external ones.
before we started James showed us how to scribe skirting on some colonial skirting as this is one of the hardest to do.
