Check with your supplier. When I built my house I walked in with a
plan and they sized and priced everything accordingly, "free".

Why speculate on something you obiously don't have the necessary
resources to provide him with accurate information. You can't take a
WAG guess on lenght and extrapolate a cost, with the different sizes
comes a different cost/foot. What good would the information you
provided be anyway? Do it right and seek professional
recommendations.

I did the same thing that DAC did. Hand them the plans and they give you a
drawing showing placement and instructions.

Bob everything you pick up these days seems to have a tag on it saying the
state of California has determined this item causes cancer.
