Hey all,
I went to the Blue Box today to get some exterior trim moulding for my new windows. I've included a picture of what I'm looking for. I thought I might just get some 2x2 sized stock and rip it down and put the rabbit in. I couldn't find what I needed! They had a similiar stain grade pine moulding, but it had rounded corners and wasn't quite the right dimensions.
The closest that I found was some primed pine brick moulding that I could make work. I'd need to rip it down, but it was like $12/8ft or $15/10ft! The cellular vinyl PVC stuff was cheaper than this.
I did find some select pine 1x2 that I thought I might glue together and rip them down, but I wasn't sure this was a good idea for exterior trim. What do you think?
I was tempted to just buy some #2 SYP 2x2s and call it a day, but not sure this would hold up as well.
How should I procede?
