    Also, you may want to hit the inside of the jaws with a file, they come a little too sharp and prone to cutting the nail instead of gripping it. You don't want broken off nail stubs, they will prevent you from getting a tight fit. Also, what am I looking at here? Is that the threshold, are you sure you mean baseboard? Those pics are confusing, did you mean subfloor?

    • I know it's not a "baseboard." That's just the closest terminology I could think of. As you can see, I'm a terrible carpenter.nocomply
    • Think of it like a board that covers the edge of a step, if that helps at all.nocomply
    • Oh I see, it's some kind of super trip hazard pseudo stair tread. Wow, that's kinda specialterry_cloth
    • For the record... that would be called a "Stair Nosing".ETM
    • And if I were you I would install a few solid wood blocks in that void.ETM
    • lol, it's called shitty laminate stair nosing that is inherently unsafe and is little more than a cap to hide shotty workmanshipterry_cloth
    • real nosing sits flush with the flooring, for the record . . . .terry_cloth
