" Steve Roth is here from south solutions. And Steve let me interrupt you before you go serve out there not style solutions makes all sorts of moldings and trim. All kinds architectural treatments in this house has got quite right yes we're putting in quite a variety of different cornice moldings and this is crown that you're working and yet but I've got samples here to show. And everybody. Crown which typically would be a crown molding plus maybe a bed and then another flat piece of is that there's a three build crown yeah and in this case is just one piece of urethane. And then. We've got traditional ones such as this switch is. Sort of an egg and dart detail may be federal inspired piece -- that classical. Kind of a campus. Some of these are very very high style and brave -- yeah this is the the would be most high style with swagger and dental isn't just about everything imagine I'm quite surprised that there's this variety of aesthetic choices to be made. -- More or less are they comparable to using wood or is it more money --"
" Money there they're very -- the word of they install differently because there are planted as you can see that the crowns are very large into a three build crown in one piece of what you're anxious to install. What went and that the cost per foot approximately is -- we run anywhere from five dollars a foot up to fifteen dollars a foot would be an average range but it really depends on the detail her sights on hold right now. Now you were just about to what we doing -- well I was just kind of dry fitting the miter here and unlike world. We tend to do ours on a bench we'll do it before we install it up on the wall which makes it easier well he got a three crown it's it's much easier to line everything up. Down -- who don't work and it got -- it is now we do that yet now use adhesives fleet. The key to it is using construction adhesive OK not a carpenter's not a carpenter's glue not what we have here is fall. So here again we want to make sure -- good bonding agent. On that seems okay. -- see how much. Out of alignment I have to do yes we've got that they the quarter round here the cove and all that we're doing one piece. Out here that isn't gonna put a screw on the backside. You can around me and -- Sure this. -- substantial and it's -- tall frame and then it very easy to work with. And as I work that corner show us those gets through alternatives are very very -- leisure trends group was has very small head. So it's nice development of finish nailing gets into the joint OK OK -- one more inherent and I actually have corner stressed out already. You're not going to install a large back. Yet if this were being done with traditional wooden moldings. You'd have to be applying. Three different layers of molding. At three different times. And it springs that in the industry to now I've got the stud markings already marked Bob here and just like you do it peace -- that I have to keep your stud openings. And I'm going to bury these same trim screws. Now isn't that a problem cutting such a such a wide profile we get the larger profiles. He definitely have to deal with the bath. It is different slant."
" Glass we'll have to mathematically figure out of their holes and miter fence off. But we shall ask -- a -- of the Eagles sentence and then you can cut it very easily now this is about eight inch. Stop cornice when you get into those fancier ones like I was looking at over there regardless wags in the -- tools. Isn't it a little bit complicated to make these mitered it gets very complicated all that heat Eddie -- can be a real challenge we cast mold a ninety degree corner. Where that miter is perfect. And it's already assembled for you would in fact it's cast -- so you can get a precast inside corner we do that for about twelve of our larger profiles -- hard to get in the saw plus the pattern. A terrific."
