Look at the top of the page.
Find the search function.
Search "How much should I charge"
or a similar term.

I am sorry but this gets freakin annoying. How much more simple does it get than figuring out how much in materials and time and what you need to live on. Just go rip some 3/4" ply that would be way cheaper. Are you going to knaw through the trim with a beaver or do you have some tools to do the work.

I'm over it sorry bout that.

Re: Baseboard Trim


Well I could use about 10k for a few things, tell you what I think 10k is a good starting price, now you have room for cupons and negotiations!!!

Warner you can't use 3/4 plywood that would look bad. I would stack two pieces of that plastic base and its already finished that would look classy. How come it is always the one posters
