Thanks for the clarification Peter.

SOMETHING ODD HAS HAPPENED TO THIS THREAD
This morning when I opened this thread, mine and a couple of other's thread are gone. I first thought mine had been "pulled" due being maybe just a little off topic. I went to my profile and checked there and low and behold there it is, complete with mine and other's paragraphs.
It seems today's display is separate to yesterdays
Gremlin in the works?Just do it!
Kind regards Rod

There must be 2 threads addressing this problem. Maybe a mod should combine them, before I get confused

Sorry to be the dissenting viewpoint, but I can see where the client is coming from. I'm not a carpenter, but I do know that its external joints mitered, internal joints scribed - for normal skirting boards. The thing is, when you do a scribe joint on a bullnose or pencil round skirting board then it actually looks like its been mitered - in the sense the join looks to be 45 degrees to each piece of skirting and runs into the apex of the corner. Thus your internal and external joints match each other, regardless of how they were done.
If you scribe a square skirting board, you get a joint that looks like a butt joint - it doesnt match the mitired joint of the external corners and looks amateurish.
To me, mitered joints look elegant and well made and I'd expect all joints to look the same.
Yes, the painter could fill them and sand it off - but he might not appreciate the scope creep.
Cheers

scribe is the way!
How you have done it is the prescribed way for good reasons-allows more movement for a join that is highly unlikely to be 90 degrees in the first place.
You must remember that to get your builders licence in most states-is mostly financial-as far as I am aware there is NO requirement to actually know how to build a dog kennel. Tell them to search the net-they will find that what you have done is not only correct, but mitering such joints & filling is the half arsed way.
In essence as you knew -YES they are wrong & need replacing with someone competent.
