As others have mentioned, this stuff isnt difficult to install or cut. The biggest issue i have is lack of truck to pickup 16 foot lengths. If I had a means to pickup the material, I would probably finish the house myself considering I have every tool required to do the job. All i would need is some beer to provide to a friend with an arm to hold it up while my nail gun fires it into place.[/quote]

I’m not sure, but won’t most places deliver (for a charge)?

The cost per linear foot depends a lot on the material (wood vs. MDF), the width, etc. We purchased our molding from Mission Molding in Kearny Mesa –

http://www.missionmoulding.net/Site/Home.html

It had been recommended by our GC and we were very happy with what they had to offer. They might be able to point you to someone who can do the installation for you.

FWIW – although I usually want the real thing, that doesn’t apply to molding. Real wood expands and contracts with humidity and temperature, causing gaps to open up between segments and/or the ceiling or wall (even when you fill the gaps with caulk that is supposed to expand, etc.) MDF doesn’t expand or contract, but it has to be painted (we always want white trim, so that isn’t a problem).

. . . The least educated people are, the more they respond to emotional marketing.

Umm – how many ways can I think of to refute this comment? Let’s see, how about all of the doctors and lawyers who drive luxury cars that are sold using advertising that suggests that such cars will make them attractive to women? How about the fact that if marketing didn’t work as well on educated people we wouldn’t see as much marketing directed toward goods/services that require a high income?

In any event, I feel compelled to raise an objection to a stereotype that smart level headed well educated people make better emotional choices than less well educated people. I think the Unabomber is a good example of the fallacy there. Or we can go back to Ptahhotpe (Egyptian, 24th century A.D.):

“Do not be arrogant because of your knowledge. . . Good speech is more hidden than malachite, yet it is found in the possession of women slaves at the millstones.”
