I was at Menards today buying some crown molding. They actually have moulding that runs $100 a stick. That is for 12 feet and that was the sale price!!
I opted for the $30 stuff thinking that was too much. Bought some other trim also so no wrenching for a few days, just 220 grit and polyurethane.

Wow you guys are expensive out there. I think the most we sold it at back when I worked at a lumber yard was like $5.00 a foot.

The dining room is almost done. Here are a few shots of the crown moulding.

As I do not have a 340S to wrench on I made a custom window instead.

I wanted something to match my underwear.

Of course I am just kidding.

My wife did the drapes. I did the rest.

So do you have a 340 for me??
