Unfortunately I don't think it will work with the angled ceiling.

The rule is: none. It will not work.

My last house was a contemporary design with a slanting ceiling. We had no crown molding at all - it just wouldn't have worked with the sloping lines and modern vibe of the house. I don't think it would work on a mobile home, either, and for the same reasons.

You'd have compound angles at every corner (90 degrees on the horizontal axis and whatever the slope is on the vertical). Nightmare. Plus...mobile...even minor flexing would create obvious separations just above eye level.

Michael - it's not a question of whether it can be done, it's a question of whether it should be done.

jmm1837 it can be done, it should be done if someone wants it. You just don't know how to do it and how to do it right. JS
