[Shop-talk] Construction opinion poll

[Brian Kemp]

Jim - I would not build it crooked unless it was a dark closet that I 
just needed quick and cheap.

If other people will see it, the insides of the uprights should be 
square and parallel.  The easy way would be to build it square, shim it, 
and cover the gaps with molding. 

The best looking way, which you didn't mention, would be to make a frame 
a little wide then scribe it to fit snuggly without needing molding 
along the sides.  I'd still expect molding along the floor and ceiling.
