Two openings going into a kitchen and both look like this one. She wanted metal.
The metal is shimmed up on tack strip to bring it up to the level of the plank flooring and I don't like miters because when you hammer them down they tend to do weird stuff at the last moment. One side was like 41 and a half degrees and the other one was 48ish. I didn't even check to see what the small angles were.
When I pound it down, I'll use the handle on my rubber mallet amd hope it least flattens out the curve a little bit. The carpets heavy enough it won't need to move much and it's backed up by tack strip anyway.
........ Oh and by the way I didn't have to cut this 12-ft bar of metal. It fit perfectly end to end.
What do you think the chances are of that happening on the second openin it's almost exactly the same size.
I'm going to guess 100%
I'm feeling lucky.
