Installing Crown Molding on Cathedral Ceiling

Here are the outside pendants. And, yes compared to the ones Gary Katz uses, these are HUGE. A coupe of reasons for that.

1. The width of these matches the width of the beam pendants. (The corner pendants are the same depth as the beam pendants) So we're continuing the same proportions.

2. The outside corners in the rooms also have lovely corner molding on them and we need that flat area on the bottom of the pendant to butt the corner moldings up to .

Because these wrap around the corner and have to accommodate the angle of the ceiling, they are actually made of 5 1/4" inch tall baseboard instead of our usual 4 1/4 base. You can just make out in the lower left of the photo the difference in the width of the baseboard. The 'short' or down hill side of the pendant is made of the 4 1/4" tall base and the remaining 3 sides are made of 5 1/4" tall baseboard.

(As it turns out, even the 5 1/4" tall base wasn't tall enough. We had to add another 5/8 inch block to the upper most edge to fit up to the ceiling. Notice the white painted strip at the upper right in the photo.)
