I want to install baseboard in my attic. I intend to keep it 3/8" off the floor and do the installation before the carpet guy comes.
My problem is that the molding comes in three pieces - baseboard, shoe molding, and the cap. I'm OK on how to cut the latter two, but the baseboard is just a rectangular piece of wood. For the inside corner do I just butt one piece against the other or do I cut two 45s?
Thanks,

The attic floor is uneven - on one wall I have 1/2" shims, but there is a dip which causes the space beneath the baseboard to expand to 1". Do I ...
1) leave like that?
2) remove the shims and let the baseboard rest directly on the floor (except for the dips)?
3) split the difference - 1/4" shims with spaces at the dips 3/4"?

I had someone look at the attic room yesterday. I pointed out the 1" gap under the baseboard, and he said that the pad plus the carpet will cover that - no problem.
Do you all agree? (It had seemed that since there was some disagreement as to go with 3/8" or 1/2", 1" seemed like a lot.)
