   More info, please? Is the gap where the ceiling and the crown meet? Or is it at the intersection of the horizontal crown and the crown going up the rake? Can't quite picture your problem.

   *Are you going up the peaks of the gable(s) ? The transition angle to cross from the side wall to the gable would be a nightmare.

   *John, It looks as if you are saying you can not get an accurate measutement due to the peaks & valleys in the wall??? And you think some crown molding is going to what? Hide this problem? If anything it will make it more obvious. Joe H

   *John,If you've got the angles and you got the measurement, what's the problem? The answer may lie in numerous posts on cutting crown and cutting it up the rake. Do a b searchhere on that and pleasant reading.Crown mldg on diff. planes is a whole diff. ballgame.Best of luck.

   *John - To do what you want to do requires a different, i developedcrown for the sloped section. In other words, a similar but expanded profile must be run so that the sloped section meets the horizontal section. This is a custom millwork job. You may have assumed that you could resolve it but you can't any other way, except by not continuing the crown up the roof slope.Jeff

   *What would you think about changing from a crown moulding to an ornate picture rail that could either be continued horizontally across the gabel (not sure if he has windows int he way), follow the ceiling line around the gabel, or, a stylized line at half the pitch of the ceiling ?

   *You would have to feel like you really justi hadto have it run up the slope to execute either of the details pictured. I recently did severaly rooms with sloped ceilings where we stopped the crown at the end of the room (crown on beaded edge board) and it looks fine.Don't force a square peg in a round hole.

   *SCC,

   Is that guy kidding? That double running rim jobber leaves much to be desired. I'll take the block.
