Small items that are not critical to the structure can
often increase efficiency and quality of work during
the finishing stages. For example, corner blocks make
it possible to nail baseboards some distance back from
their end, Figure 11‑25. This eliminates the possibility
of splitting the wood.
Pro Tip
Proper planning and monitoring of the job are important
to avoid any unnecessary delays. A carpenter must
continually study and plan the sequence of the job so
that neither the weather nor work of other tradespeople
will cause slowdowns or bottlenecks.
