Delta Sly my brother installs tile flooring he was working at a house and the walls were shifted towards the left. This house has a few fuck ups so my brother was being blamed by the home owner that his tile was crooked and was installed wrong it wasn’t. It was the wall and he told the home owner that he wasn’t having it. So they contacted the builder and he believed my brother and sides with him the homeowner was not convinced so the builder brought a laser scanning machine to check if the tile was crooked. Mind you the lasers weren’t necessary it was so obvious that the tile was straight and that the wall was shifted to the left. This man was living in denial, he bought shit tile and his walls were shifted. I don’t remember the price but it was definitely under 3 dollars per square foot maybe even 1 dollar normally the tile ranges from 3 to 10 per square foot. So it kept chipping and cracking very easily and my brother had to replace it constantly. So now he has a 300k+ home that has a few flaws.

The square is 90 degrees. Since there is wiggle room between the square and the two walls that create the corner, that means that the angle of the two walls is greater than 90 degrees. That’s more than what the square can measure. This matters because when cutting the boards to be installed at 45 degree angles, when installed, there will be a gap in-between them whey they are both against their respective walls. That’s no good. What is demonstrated in the video is finding that larger angle. The actual degree doesn’t matter because he’s measuring the cut line against the actual angle being read. With the two reference boards he draws a guide line on both where they meet to the corner of each board that is in the corner of the wall. The distance from the “board corner” to the “wall corner” is greater that a perfect 45 degree angle because the “board corner” is physically farther away then where the 45 degree “board corner” would be. So, when he makes the cuts on those new reference lines and puts them together in the corner, everything is flush and it looks like the wall has a perfect corner. Walls are rarely straight and corners are rarely perfectly 90 degrees. This video shows how a finish carpenter would work around an imperfect wall/corner. This method would also work for outside corners as well. Of course, a simpler way to find an angle would be to just use an inexpensive angle finder found at any construction store. Find your angle, say 86 degrees, and divide it by 2 which is 43. You’d then just cut a 43 degree angle on each board to create your corner. This video is essentially the same thing except he just made his own “angle finder” using two pieces of wood. I apologize if I confused you any farther.
