Components that I have to work with: corner trim ~1/4" thick, bottom of
top trim ~1/4" thick, bead board ~1/4" thick.
Two install scenarios:
1st intall bead board all the way to the corner
2nd install the top trim
3rd install the corner trim
Problem: having installed the corner trim over the bead board, the
corner trim now projects ~1/2 from the wall, while the bottom of the
top trim is flush with the top of the bead board. Corner trim extends
~ 1/4" beyond the bottom of the top trim - UGLY.
Second install option:
1st install corner trim
2nd install bead board (flush against corner trim
3rd install top trim.
Since all parts are the same thickness, no problem.
And yes, I plan to mitre the corners for a finihsed look!
