The skirting board 1 is, as is well known, an under-wall decorative material for Western-style makeup arranged below the wall surface 3S of the house.

In this embodiment, the cable 2 includes a high-power cable 2A such as a power supply and a low-power cable 2B such as a communication line and a signal line. Of these, the high-power cable 2A is conducted to the distribution board via a branch cable 6A extending through the inside of the wall 3 to the branch position j behind the ceiling, and the low-power cable 2B is similarly connected to the wall 3 It is electrically connected to the lead-in line via a branch cable 6B extending to the branch position j through the inside.

FIG. 2 illustrates a case where the house is formed by a panel method. As the wall 3, a wall panel 9 is attached to an outer surface and an inner surface of a peripheral frame 7, respectively. P1 is used. The upper and lower ends of the wall panel P1 are fixed to a frame such as a foundation or a beam via an appropriate mounting bracket.

A floor panel P2 is used as the floor body 13 in which a floor base plate 15 and a finishing floor material 16 are sequentially attached to the upper surface of a peripheral frame 14. The floor panel P2 is supported by, for example, a large scale (not shown).

The baseboard 1 is arranged below the wall surface 3S, that is, at a position close to or in contact with the floor surface.

The baseboard 1 is made of a plastic molded body, and has a long base portion 21 fixed to the wall surface 3S using nails (including screws) or the like, and is detachably attached to the base portion 21. And a cover 22 that forms the wiring space H between itself and the base part 21.

Further, in the present application, the baseboard 1 is detachably attached to the base portion 21 and the end E of the cover 22.
And a cap member 20 (shown in FIG. 1) for covering and making up.

Here, the "end E" is a portion where one cover 22 is cut off. As shown in FIG. 1, at the cut off portion Q1 of the baseboard 1 due to an entrance or the like, the end of the cover 22 is cut off. The end portion E is disposed at a small gap G (shown in FIG. 3) from, for example, the picture frame 11 provided at the entrance or the like. Are separated from each other by a small gap G (shown in FIGS. 7 and 8).

This is because the cover 22 is a long plastic body and expands and deforms due to changes in temperature and humidity. In particular, since the cover 22 is largely exposed on the indoor side, This bending deformation or the like significantly reduces the appearance.

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 3, 7, and 8, the small gap G capable of absorbing the expansion is formed at the end E of the cover 22, and the small gap G is covered and covered. In addition, the cap member 20 is disposed. Since the base portion 21 is integrally fixed to the wall surface 3S, expansion and contraction thereof are suppressed, and therefore, the end portion of the base portion 21 is arranged substantially without a gap.

Hereinafter, the baseboard 1 will be described in detail. 4 and 5, the base portion 21 has horizontal U-shaped sections 23U and 23L projecting above and below a vertical fixing piece 23A fixed to the wall surface 3S, as shown in an enlarged example in FIGS.
