The day a simple threshold turned into a four hour puzzle
Had a job in a 1920s house where the homeowner wanted a wood transition between the new kitchen tile and the old oak floor. The gap was this weird angle, not 90 degrees, maybe 87 or something. I figured I'd just cut the piece to fit, no big deal. I must have measured and recut that stupid piece of oak eight times, each one just a hair off. My miter saw was set perfect, but the old floors were so out of square it threw everything. What should have been a 20 minute task took me almost four hours. Ended up having to scribe the profile with a pencil and sand it down by hand for a perfect fit. Anyone else run into a threshold from hell that just wouldn't cooperate?

I read that old houses settle in weird ways, making nothing truly square. That scribe and sand method is often the only fix.
