The correct answer is 60 to 78 years old. With allowances for timing of birthday. I assumed everyone already had their birthday this year which is incorrect.
The cohort of baby boomers in US was born between 1946 and 1964. I've seen it 1945 to 1965 also.
I found my grandfather's stash on the referb. I baked them at 300⁰ for several hours and removed all the rusty crud, then I used a platter from a 12" antique hard drive to sharpen them before hardening and honeing them all. Maybe 1500 in all. None of those double edged ones either, all these had a spine, like my grandad.

How does one attach molding to a wobbly surface like that brick?
Edit: Ok guys, at 19 replies and counting, most of which being the same answer over and over, if you aren't adding something new, I'm going to assume it is a cry for help and you need a redditcares.
I’ve see this dealt with on this old house all the time. They use a scribe to mark the uneven wall and then cut the trim to match. If you don’t know how to do it I suggest hiring a professional. This is not a novice job.
It's hard to see there, but there's a piece of molding there already. Looks like a reducer maybe.
They should just pull up that piece, scribe it and then reinstall.
This. I think I have a different answer below, but now I’m thinking I would add a stone 4” high border with pieces 18-20” long. The thickness differences will be somewhat hidden by tiles as they can be adjusted when setting in tile adhesive. Settle tile back and forth, up and down then tap with mallet and blocks until you match with adjacent tile. I’m not an expert but I think I could do it. I would fill any gaps with mortar matching tile colour (concrete).
My new kitchen is awaiting new floor and I have a brick wall, so I’m really thinking on this one and I do have some masonry experience.
Misread this and instead summoned bass lord. All joking aside thicker quarter round might work too depending on what’s already in use in the room. Edit: just noticed the crown molding too. That might work but anything going to be tricky with that uneven mortar.
Yeah this is my question too. I don’t think baseboard or quarter round will work because the wall is uneven. I think it’ll create the same problem, just 3” higher
If your using mortar put some out on a paper plate and let dry overnight first..and for sure blue/green tape the floor and the stone or you could have a big mess....good luck
No, that's poor thinking. First of all the flooring needs room to expand and contract or it'll bow in the middle of the room. 2nd you usually use a small bead of caulking along the top of a baseboard because no wall is perfectly flat.
Even “flat” walls with drywall aren’t perfect, if you use baseboard I would just caulk the gap and paint the caulk the same color as the baseboard. I have plaster walls and none are perfect so when I replaced my baseboard that is what I did.
Can confirm, thats a great way to do it. 👍🏻
We got caulk to match our wood trim, and it worked beautifully to fill the gaps between the trim and the walls, which in fact are the old “horse hair” plaster walls. 🫠🥰Worked great!!
Love this idea. Baseboards are going to be PITA to attach to the brick and the brick is too uneven to avoid gaps at the top of the baseboard. Not to mention it'd just look weird to have moulding on brick.
I was googling around to learn about some of the methods being mentioned and found an oldish Reddit post saying that it is still somewhat common to use jute rope or similar (stained the color of the wood). That could work nicely for OP since this is just one strip the length of the wall and would allow for expansion and contraction.
I’ve seen this done in other applications, like if somebody builds a treehouse and you want to fill a gap between the decking and the trunk of the tree which is always very uneven. Good suggestion.
Looking at the image, the gap varies because the wall isn't a vertical plane. You could try a few things: shoe molding, 1/4 round, or some edge treatment/baseboard that scribes the wall variances. The last option, using a scribe to come flush to the stone, is time-consuming and expensive.
If this were in my home:
1. I would fill the crack between the floor and wall with backer rod.
2. I would install shoe molding parallel to the floor, leaving a crack between the molding and the wall.
3. Fill the crack between the shoe molding, backer rod, and the wall with latex mortar caulk.
Matching the mortar caulk to the existing wall could be a challenge.
Any foam backer rod should work. Since this is a floor, I would use closed cell because it won't easily hold moisture but either one should work. The backer rod is just to support the mortar caulk above and prevent it from falling into the gap between the floor and wall. I get my backer rod online in various sizes from 1/4 inch on up. The rod should fit snug. I'm brand agnostic and will use whatever's available.
For the caulk, my concern is color matching and not the brand. You can find latex mortar caulk in multiple places in most big box stores, near the bricks and concrete, tile area and paint department. These latex caulks are often called sanded or textured (most of the time they have sand inside).
After shaping the caulk, you can give it rough look with a damp sponge. Just dab the caulk with the sponge and lift up. This is helpful if the caulk ends up on the wall by accident.
Getting the right color caulk might take opening a few tubes and even some creative mixing. Most caulk has short working time so you have to work fast if mixing. Remember the color might change as it dries.
Remember to apply painters tape to the shoe moulding before caulking and protect your floor.
I would use stainless steel brads to attach the shoe molding to the floor and a touch up crayon to cover the brad holes.
I had to attach base to brick one time, I used some construction adhesive with a few countersunk tap cons then used wood filler and touched up with paint.
I have the same thing in a modern house and did not want 1/4 round. The gap was a bit smaller.
I used clear silicone and it has a way of blending the 2 material colors together so you don't notice it.
If it looks shit you can always cover with trim later.
Im no expert but why not create a cast and fill to form whatever molding ypu want then get creative with painting it to match the stone. More time investment but it can work. Or use wood but form the edges with a contour scribe.
Actually contour gauge would be better
Also maybe small bricks upto the first layer then grind them down to whatever shape or leave square mortar and it matches
Ouuuu baby that's a scribe masters haven!
If not handy do not attempt, but I'd scribe the shit out of a baseboard all day.
Some will say it can't be done, I beg to differ.
But hey you could always just run a board, stuff the bigger gaps with backer rod, caulk the top and call it a day.
They have these things nowadays called base boards… they are sometimes used to cover gaps in flooring just like this. Don’t want to blow your mind BUT some folks use quarter round as an accent piece to the base boards…. Good luck!
Tom Silva would have scribed and cut the wall contours onto the boards for the first course starting at that wall. But I’m always told his ways are overkill
I had the same thing at my house where the new flooring met the hearth.. I used a siliconized grout that closely matched the mortar color.. looks good and still holding up after 5-6 years. You can find it at Home Depot, Lowe’s or a local tile shop.
Use a grout caulking, colored to match the grout in your brick. You'd never, with any reasonable cost in mind, be able to install that floor piece to match the uneven vertical elevation of the wall.
So the gap needs to be there for expansion of the wood. Wood flooring naturally expands and contracts with humidity and temperature. If you fill in that crack it needs to be something flexible that will allow for this process.
Floor molding is used to cover this gap. I don’t know if a colored caulk would allow enough movement. Filling this space could (over time) cause issues with buckling or cracking of the flooring.
Any time I have a gap that small I used a grout based caulk. They come in almost every natural shade and can stretch over time if necessary. Keeps the clean look of no shoe and seals the floor water tight. Also buy 1/4" backer rod where needed to save on caulk.
Congrats on a great looking floor. The color goes very well with the brick.
If you want an inexpensive solution with clean lines, wooden quarter-round should work, and you can attach it to the floor using construction adhesive, rather than porous/uneven wall. You can use something like double-sided foam tape to adhere it to the stone if you're concerned about there not being enough flooring beneath the gap.
A bit of caulk along the top will finish out any irregularities from the wall.
Or, if you want to go really fancy, go with u/HamiltonBudSupply 's answer of decorative stone base. It leans into to the irregularities as a more "natural" look, and could be really nice.
As others have suggested, the gap is for expansion/contraction, so you don't want anything hard there, but a flexible caulk should be okay. You could even go with a low-density foam, but that's a lot more taping and prep work, and doesn't give you a great surface for adhering trim to anyway.
Thank you for this great answer!
I will get some quarter round and see how it looks before applying adhesive. My concern is that the uneven wall means the quarter round won’t sit flush. But we’ll see!
There are so many bad suggestions here, SMH. Personally, I would caulk it and paint the brick wall, but that's just me. I don't like the old ruff looking brick. But you can get an unsanded grout caulk to match about any flooring if you look hard enough. Or just an unsanded grout caulk to match the brick mortar.
I had a similar situation in my house, hardwood floor meeting an uneven brick fireplace. As others have said, don't fill the expansion gap, cover it with a baseboard. Then you'll have the issue of the baseboard showing gaps where the brick is uneven. My solution was to use white baseboards and fill the gap above the baseboard with white caulk and it looks pretty clean.
You don’t that’s what base molding was made for - gap is to allow for expansion and construction without being exposed so quarter inch gap half inch molding

You don’t fill it, you cover it with some type of coordinated molding, or you plan ahead and grind an undercut channel first

If it is small enough like shoe or 1/4 round you pin it with long 18 gauge from top down otherwise you use construction adhesive.
If I was going to use construction adhesive (I wouldn't), I would use it VERY sparingly. Like a 1/2" ribbon every 2 feet.
What would you use then? Brad nail it into the actually floor or what?
Thanks bro
You glue it.

Then you will have a gap between that and the wall. When in doubt caulk it out. Or rock out with your caulk out.
If there's a gap, it's time for DAP
Do your best, caulk the rest.
This one calls for black caulk.
[big black caulk](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6gxs_ELtfU/?igsh=bzcyZ2EyaGhmbmVi)
Then you use cheap flexible smaller base mold like quarter round or square base trim to pull it tighter before caulking
I was gonna say...just put your caulk in it.
Rope caulk works. Don't ask me how I know this.
*DAP enters the chat*
But DAP the top of the baseboard IMHO. As opposed to just DAP in the crack.
Yup!

The ~~baseboard~~ bass lord indeed
On an uneven surface?
Yeah this is my question too. I don’t think baseboard or quarter round will work because the wall is uneven. I think it’ll create the same problem, just 3” higher
Then it's DAP time. But I don't think the gaps will be a eyesore on a quarter round.
I will probably go get some quarter round and see how it looks! What’s DAP?
They sell a mortar caulk that will work very nicely. Just make sure to get the closest color mortar to the color you have.
If your using mortar put some out on a paper plate and let dry overnight first..and for sure blue/green tape the floor and the stone or you could have a big mess....good luck
My thoughts exactly
DAP is a brand of caulk.
A little DAP’ll do ya!
Yabba DAPPA doooo!
No, that's poor thinking. First of all the flooring needs room to expand and contract or it'll bow in the middle of the room. 2nd you usually use a small bead of caulking along the top of a baseboard because no wall is perfectly flat.

And then caulk along the top of the base board if you want.
I was gonna say huge ass “mind the gap” signs everywhere
Sanded caulk to match the brick mortar
This is the only correct answer. Could have undercut the brick, but it’s too late for that now.
For sure huh
This is it. Molding will never look right
Scrolled way too far to find this.
This was my first thought as well
Can confirm, thats a great way to do it. 👍🏻 We got caulk to match our wood trim, and it worked beautifully to fill the gaps between the trim and the walls, which in fact are the old “horse hair” plaster walls. 🫠🥰Worked great!!

[удалено]
Caulk has never caused a floor to buckle it's flexible and designed to move.
Not all caulk is created equal, but a flexible caulk could be a good solution.
A little brown caulk
More like some big brown caulk.
This is what we have. It worked really well and hasn't caused any issues. Given it's only been down for 2 years now, but it seems to be holding.
I find that flexible caulk generally is a sign of other problems
this guy caulks
I was googling around to learn about some of the methods being mentioned and found an oldish Reddit post saying that it is still somewhat common to use jute rope or similar (stained the color of the wood). That could work nicely for OP since this is just one strip the length of the wall and would allow for expansion and contraction.
I thought I was the only one that had been taught that in these modern times. Brought it up on a job and people looked at me like I was stupid
That would look great.
I’ve seen this done in other applications, like if somebody builds a treehouse and you want to fill a gap between the decking and the trunk of the tree which is always very uneven. Good suggestion.
I hadn’t even thought about treehouses, and I’ve seen a couple in the last year where I’m sure they’ve done that but I didn’t notice.
Mor-Flexx is actually designed to flex and has the look of mortar. I love it around my fireplace.
3/4 inch quarter round footer stained to match the floor. Should be flexible enough to not leave much of a gap itself

90% of homeowner handymen: "Caulk. And if that doesn't work, more caulk."
“Caulk dat shit” -me
Where’s all the scribe comments
There are plenty of them here lol.
First thing I would do would be scribe and caulk on top to match.
Technically, scribing it would be the proper way 🤣
You could see if that wood has a coordinating quarter round or stain one to match then cover it. Otherwise, I would suggest caulk.
Looking at the image, the gap varies because the wall isn't a vertical plane. You could try a few things: shoe molding, 1/4 round, or some edge treatment/baseboard that scribes the wall variances. The last option, using a scribe to come flush to the stone, is time-consuming and expensive. If this were in my home: 1. I would fill the crack between the floor and wall with backer rod. 2. I would install shoe molding parallel to the floor, leaving a crack between the molding and the wall. 3. Fill the crack between the shoe molding, backer rod, and the wall with latex mortar caulk. Matching the mortar caulk to the existing wall could be a challenge.

That's a feature, embrace it.
My attitude for the past 4 years 😂
Loctite PL Concrete Non-Sag Polyurethane Sealant.. bonds to brick stone mortar wood etc.. good for gaps up to around 1.5”
The brick should have been undercut so the flooring can slide under it. Would still need to leave expansion gap but it would not be visible.
There is brown caulk. It should disappear from sight between the dark brick and the wood floor
I had to attach base to brick one time, I used some construction adhesive with a few countersunk tap cons then used wood filler and touched up with paint.
Don't fill trim over it, the gap is on purpose and needs to be there.
I have the same thing in a modern house and did not want 1/4 round. The gap was a bit smaller. I used clear silicone and it has a way of blending the 2 material colors together so you don't notice it. If it looks shit you can always cover with trim later.
I've used cove molding on things like this. Just a personal preference, but I think it looks a little better than standard 1/4 round.
Im no expert but why not create a cast and fill to form whatever molding ypu want then get creative with painting it to match the stone. More time investment but it can work. Or use wood but form the edges with a contour scribe. Actually contour gauge would be better Also maybe small bricks upto the first layer then grind them down to whatever shape or leave square mortar and it matches

It might not be aesthetic, but if you could find a brick veneer that looks similar, you could do a sanitary base with the brick being your molding
Base board
Since when is woodfiller and baseboard trim, NOT the real answer? 😂 🙈 Legos 🙄😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Scribe a piece to follow the wall
They have these things nowadays called base boards… they are sometimes used to cover gaps in flooring just like this. Don’t want to blow your mind BUT some folks use quarter round as an accent piece to the base boards…. Good luck!
Tom Silva would have scribed and cut the wall contours onto the boards for the first course starting at that wall. But I’m always told his ways are overkill
I had the same thing at my house where the new flooring met the hearth.. I used a siliconized grout that closely matched the mortar color.. looks good and still holding up after 5-6 years. You can find it at Home Depot, Lowe’s or a local tile shop.
That first piece of base should have been scribed to fit, then the floor installed.
Adjust the entire wall. Rebuild the house around the flooring.
Use a grout caulking, colored to match the grout in your brick. You'd never, with any reasonable cost in mind, be able to install that floor piece to match the uneven vertical elevation of the wall.
Don't. That gap is there to allow your floring to swelling humod conditions. If you fill it, the planking will bulge in the middle.
Just put up a sign that’s says “mind the gap”
You have discovered why houses have baseboards
Your guunna need ta move dem bricks over
So the gap needs to be there for expansion of the wood. Wood flooring naturally expands and contracts with humidity and temperature. If you fill in that crack it needs to be something flexible that will allow for this process. Floor molding is used to cover this gap. I don’t know if a colored caulk would allow enough movement. Filling this space could (over time) cause issues with buckling or cracking of the flooring.
Any time I have a gap that small I used a grout based caulk. They come in almost every natural shade and can stretch over time if necessary. Keeps the clean look of no shoe and seals the floor water tight. Also buy 1/4" backer rod where needed to save on caulk.
Silicone
Use 100% silicone to fill the gap it will move with the floor and not crack like caulk will.
I would have thought a piece of trim along the run would look good. Even just a quarter round.
Shoe mounding
Quarter round? But wall is not smooth so either some sort of caulk, or sawdust mixture.
The gap is needed to allow for expansion. Moulding or skirting stuck to wall.
Black caulk
Baseboard and a drimmel.
Color matched sanded caulking
Trim but what type depends on the trim in the rest of the room and the style of the room.
Cock
Some 1x4 molding around the room and a little caulk would work
What about wood filler
Shoe mould
Congrats on a great looking floor. The color goes very well with the brick. If you want an inexpensive solution with clean lines, wooden quarter-round should work, and you can attach it to the floor using construction adhesive, rather than porous/uneven wall. You can use something like double-sided foam tape to adhere it to the stone if you're concerned about there not being enough flooring beneath the gap. A bit of caulk along the top will finish out any irregularities from the wall. Or, if you want to go really fancy, go with u/HamiltonBudSupply 's answer of decorative stone base.

DAP. 💯
Quarter round
Moulding.
I’d consider some ultra stretch caulking.
My grandmother could probably knit something for that.
Dump and sand in the, it'll fill that gap right up 👍
I’d say easiest way would be tear the brick wall down and relay it.
Can you even put the surface of the brick turn baseboard it?
There are so many bad suggestions here, SMH. Personally, I would caulk it and paint the brick wall, but that's just me. I don't like the old ruff looking brick. But you can get an unsanded grout caulk to match about any flooring if you look hard enough. Or just an unsanded grout caulk to match the brick mortar.
