I know prices vary but dirt cheap , no kidding where did you get yours for that price ?

I have been considering this place

Might cruise http://www.garagejournal.com/ for a bunch of insulation threads
including a few of mine
The stuff I got is used as a base when stuccoing a house. When my parents had their house done in stucco I went to the place that the materials came from. They had the right thickness and width to fit between the girts, all I had to do was cut it to length. Fits snug between the girts, and since it's the same thickness, the sheet rock lays right on top of the foam and girts in between the posts. If the shop does ever catch on fire, it will have to get through the sheet rock first to get to the foam. I'll have bigger worries than how flammable the foam if it gets to that point.

I still have a bunch left over up in the attic. I have all the glass from the 68 sitting on it. It's about 6 years old now.

I have a large propane heater, and a wall mounted window-type AC unit from sears, about 10,000 BTU I think. Stays plenty warm and plenty cool in there now.
