Just wondering if anyone has some tips and tricks to installing crown moulding? DH is interested in trying it so I am looking for the easiest way to install it.
If anyone has come across any pics explaining the different cuts you have to make, please post! I'd love to see them.

Thanks :)

I found another simple solution. One of the girls on another board used pre-formed corner pieces so they didn't have to make the angled cuts.
I hope she doesn't mind if I post a pic of what I mean here (in case anyone's interested, it's RBM from WB).
I haven't seen these pieces at HD though (or maybe I'm not looking hard enough).

Installing crown moulding is tricky, but with some help he might be able to do it. DeWalt has a website on how to do the cuts for the crown moulding.
