does anyone know the going install rate for 4 1/2" oak stained crown
molding? Approx. 50 linear feet in a bathroom. 4 inside corners and 2
caps

Just as a ball park guide, roughly $2/LF, unstained, here in Houston.

$2 for stain grade crown?

Wow...

I'll be happy to post the invoice ... It's what I paid, just this past
month, to _install_ (the OP's question) two piece CM in the master bath in
new residential construction that just went on the market for $725K.

Can I sub out some Connecticut jobs to you?

Bring'em on down and I'll be glad to negotiate the price for you.

But don't forget, we have a different class of "carpenter" down here. Most
come from a desert land, sans wood, and you've got to be able to communicate
with them ... which often carries a large penalty if you can't.
Additionally, you must learn to deal with a firmly ingrained belief that
"caulk" is their salvation, and "coping", a totally alien concept, is only
to be attempted on the supervisor's insistence, and then only until he turns
his back.

To tell the truth, I thought it was bit high, but since it was an
afterthought on my part and a small job, I let it go.
