My Day So Far
In the last week or so I stepped up my hunt for OC 700 series insulation. I even looked into some 'Foam by Mail' stuff that turned out to have made up NRC's. Today I found out that there is an OC supplier that carries 700 series within a mile from me. I had a quote of $2.76/sq ft for 2" thick 705. The guy at the 1 800 number said a box/bundle/bag had 40 sq ft so that is ~ $120 with tax. I head over to the local supplier and he has 703 in stock but it has 96 sq ft in a box. I asked about 8lb mineral wool to reduce cost and he needed to look in the warehouse to see if he had any. He didn't but I spotted some loose (out of the box) pieces of rigid insulation. I asked if that was also the 2" 703. He said "Yeah ... take what you need."
I snagged 9 pieces. He even got me some bags to put it in. So I hum it in the back of the truck and head over to Luke's Records. I got a sealed copy of Dire Straits
Brothers in Arms for ~ $14. As I'm eaves dropping on the owner (Luke) talking about Micheal Jackson and the apartment he is doing over above the store I introduce myself and cut a deal to do some work for him in exchange for music. It should work out to about $350 in (used) music that I otherwise would not have been able to afford.
I come home to find that monkeys are everywhere and my album (new) has horrendous skips. I don't really care about the album. I'll listen to it cranked tomorrow on SACD and call it good.
