    Hey all,

    I'm sure I've mentioned it once or twice, but I love my wife.
    :):yes:

    Tonight I get a call from a guy we know from the bar we used to hang out at.

    She messaged him on FB about info on rubber roofing.

    He says "Hey, if you want some rubber roofing, come on down with $20 and it's yours."

    Well, had a few blue smoothies, so I tell him that's not gonna happen today, what about tomorrow.

    He talks to his friend, says "we'll bring it to you if you got cash in pocket."

    I do, come on out.

    Not a huge score, but for $20, I'm happy.
    (actually cost me $27 as I gave him delivery money, I had $7 in my pocket also)

    The large pieces are 60 mil (or something like that), and the small section is 40 mil.

    Won't satisfy all our needs, but he said he'd bring more as it becomes available.
    :thumbs::thumbs:

    I'll measure things out tomorrow, but it's a good start @ $20.

    :thumbs::thumbs:

    Thx Chazsbetterhalf
    :yes:

    It'll be nice not replacing tarps all the time.

    Thank you but got lucky on this. The guy I connected with is in construction and wishing he had a roofing contact. Well it didn't pan out yesterday but said he will call if he heard of any. Well he called today and you see what we got. Happy dance :banana::dancer:

    Can you Gorilla tape or glue those sections together to make it bigger? My first instinct is to sew them together but that would put holes in it.
