        "text": "Concrete floors and perimeter foundation walls are rarely level or plumb, which causes standard trim to gap. Professional finish carpenters solve this by scribing the bottom edge of baseboards to match the floor's exact contours or by installing flexible shoe molding and quarter round to bridge remaining hollows. Along exterior walls, trim must be fastened into wood framing or furring strips rather than directly into concrete, preventing cracked fasteners and moisture transfer from the foundation masonry to the trim boards.",
