TIL
I've only seen it written "caulk" until now.

That's how it should be spelled. I use dyslexia as my terrible excuse

To be fair, Merriam Webster seem to think that you can spell it "calk" ;P

Sabre363@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y

In that case, I definitely intended to spell it that way and I'm totally that smartest one here

I've never even seen a pre-made corner piece. Has this motherfucker never heard of a miter saw?

Called a plinth block. When done right they look really good, when done wrong….

I've only seen them for rounded corners. This picture has to be a joke as just butting the pieces in the inside corner would've been better than a premade outside corner

The fuck are they filling the gaps with, their imagination?

XTornado@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 2y

It's gapfull installation, you wouldn't understand.

Little bit of caulk would cover that right up.
