        "text": "Carpenters handle crooked walls by scribing the molding directly to the wall contour. A compass or scribe tool traces the drywall's uneven profile onto the back edge of the trim board, which is then cut with a jigsaw, plane, or belt sander. For crown molding meeting an uneven ceiling, an extra backer board or flat fascia board is often installed first. This allows the crown to remain level along its top edge while the backer absorbs the ceiling height variations, preventing distorted, twisting corner joints.",
