Help!! Who Does Skirting Boards........

Have a look at this. I found it doing a search of this site, and it came from here.
Don't use the tracing method on page three. I'd use the mitre cut method on page four. I'd cut it from the top and not the bottom. I'd use a handsaw for the straight part. Undercut it a bit so theirs a slight acute angle at the front edge. When you push it hard against the abutting piece it should be nice and tight. But before you cut it, check that the piece that you're butting against is square from the floor. If it's not you can adjust your mitre cut to suit by checking the angle with a bevel.

Thanks Pawn, that link helped clear up a bit. Still don't get it fully lmao. Got a mitre saw and woot piece of cake.

Undercut... is what I am still confuzzled on. Cut the back of the piece (touching the wall)? We tried that, but not sure if that's what it means.

undercut means to do the cut at slightly under 90 degrees.It makes for a tighter joint because only the front edge will touch the other skirt.
