That's how much he put up in escrow when he signed the purchase agreement on his new house. The balance of the purchase price was put in a suitcase and slid across the table at closing.

Has anyone here installed crown molding? But not where the wall meets the ceiling. We are doing a decorative molding strip about a foot down from the ceiling. Do I just cut all the corners (inside and out) at a straight 45 degrees? That's what I did for the floor trim, looks great.
Pictures online show the top of the crown molding corners sticking out further, but I don't think that applies to my project.

Never installed it, but seems like it's just the same way? What do you mean by sticking out further?

We just had 135km/hr winds for nearly 24hrs straight plus over a foot of rain. Turns out the house is pretty good with just a few leaks on the roofing on the deck. Garden drainage is shite and the driveway cascades water through the garage.
