[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by orsonroy</i> <br />The foam everyone talks about using for layout construction is actually insulation, something you Rebs in VA don't really know much about (compared to us cold-weather Yankees up north). Most Home Depots will special lorder the stuff, but will insist on a monimum quantity which will probably be too large for your needs. I'd try concrete and foundation supply companys; the extruded foam is used as formers for pour jobs. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Yea, I suspected that was the case -- since it rarely gets much below 30 degrees around here, thick foam insulation isn't common. And the thin stuff is pretty expensive. So maybe I'll end up sticking with the Woodland Scenics stuff if the Shelterfoam doesn't work out. <br /> <br />Thanks! <br />
