wrightwoodwork said:Generally when doing a room of skirting the side opposite the door is done first then chased back to the door. On a square room the reason it is done in that order is if there is any shrinkage in the timber you won't look straight into a gap when you open the door. Now if there is a recess in the room I will also fit the piece at the back of the recess first before I chase the skirting into the recess after starting with the wall opposite the door. Again for the same reason so if there is any movement. Basically you should always be trying to hide any movement and when you open the door any movement shouldn't be visible straight away.
