so it doesn't just "slap together" like it does on the HGTV channel? Gee... wonder why that is?

If it were "real" HGTV, you'd see a lot more dirt/sweat and they'd have to censor out every third word. That, and you'd see real workarounds (like sawzall cuts and cool stuff).

I'm not an expert, but I don't think I've ever seen a square corner or plumb ceiling here in FL. It's painfully obvious when I attempt to put in crown molding. Anyone have suggestions to make it LOOK square?
