The prospect of doing a couple hundred linear feet of hemlock shoe molding around the bottom of the fir was daunting, so I bought this bad boy. It was expensive, but worth it to my artificial knees. Allowed me to do the whole main room in one day, vs about three or four days if I'd been lying on the floor trying to get a finishing nail driven into a 3/4 strip.
My trim and finishing work could be charitably described as "Soviet style" but I like the overall look. Tomorrow I'll climb down and spend the day oiling the new pieces to match the fir.
