Like I don't have better things to do than to have to change this every 7 years.
Then you go to the lumber yard and all you can find is the same crap and plastic stuff that doesn't match the existing surround.
Solution: get a 2 x 4 of treated clear southern yellow pine and make my molding. It just takes a couple of passes on the table saw and some light sanding.
Now all I have to do is get the crappy stuff off without wrecking the jamb.
Well, at least you live in an area of the country that you can get a few years wear out of wood. Here, it lasts about two years; and our undocumented immigrant termites have taken a liking to treated lumber as well. And, believe it or not, I heard they like dade county pine - that's pretty hard stuff. hope all is well. Carl
