when we redid the other one, i cut the baseboard trim so that she could paint it. i knew that my 45 degree cuts were just a tad long, but i had everything set up for me to come home and shave a bit off the end and i'm done. (there was a bit of a burr on the backside of the board - i didn't get a clean cut).
i tell mrs, "the trim is ready for you to paint. paint it, and i'll put it in when i get home." she paints it. then decides to help by installing the trim for me. (note: i told her i would do it and she should just paint it).
she notices it's a little long. so, still helping mind you, she proceeds to cut a bit off of each piece. at the 90 degree end, not at the 45. so now my boards are too short.
the thing is - she's really really good at most of this stuff. but the "helping" just makes more work.
