RV - thanks for the reply.
two follow-up questions.
I gather that you're suggesting that I install the corner trim over the
bead board? Is that standard? Also, the will project the corner trim
out the thickness of the bead board. That seems like that would make
it more difficult (if not impossible) to end up with a nice neat
joint/intersection with the bottom of the chair rail. All the chair
rail that I've seen is tapered (thick part on top) from 5/8 to 3/4 down
to 1/4 or so. With the tapered chair rail, how in the world do you
neatly tie the corner piece in?
Also, MSN is my ISP and apparently I do not have access to the USENET
newsgroups such as alt.binaries.pictures... Any other suggestions?
