Anyone here have experience with transition pieces for outside drywall corners? I'm talking something that looks like this:
Basically, we're looking at replacing the base board trim at the same time we do the flooring, and going with a taller trim piece - more like 5", instead of the ~1.5" we currently have. Trying to figure out the least painful way to put new corner transitions in... basically everywhere in the house.
From what I gather, when this house was done ~20 years ago, they probably just cut a section of square corner bead, and then used mud to do the bevel. Nowadays, there are pre-made pieces to speed that process a bit. Either way, it seems like we'd have to do a fair bit of re-mudding, sanding, priming, etc. and then blend the texture and paint with the rest of the wall... at every single outside corner. Not really liking that notion, TBH.
I've done the 'wrapped' miter, with double 22.5 degree miters, at the last house. Kind of a PITA in its own way, so I'm not a huge fan of that route - though to be fair, that was an older house that was exceedingly not square in any given dimension, which probably made things worse than normal.
Is there a less painful way to get the first look above, without redoing half the wall in the process?
