Yay for free stuff
Posted by rrinker on Tuesday, August 15, 2006 6:44 PM
     Our company recently purchased another, but we are assuming the other company's name. So I was in the office the other day and there's all these signs that we had from various seminars. I looked at them - they are all large format printouts glued to nice foamcore. They WERE going to throw them out. Not any more. I just hope one is large enough to build my Walthers cement plant on., but I think event he biggest piece falls short of the 40.5" long dimension.
 My other option is to use the leftover piece of 2x4 foot 2: foam insulation board. The thinner foam core would make for better integration later on though.

Even if it's too small, you can always use it for scratching something else. Free stuff is cool.

I saw some foam core board posters in someone's office.  My first thought was to look on them for dates, in hopes that I could say, "No, these are dated, so you'll have to have new ones made next time."  No such luck.  They're kind of generic, and even worse, they're just Corporate Cheerleading posters so we'll have to look at them again and again.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
