Or was that because of the contractors Nathan referred to in another thread recently. Jerome J.

I love that daily email. (And for me, anyway, it's time to re-up and pay my dues) Jerome J.

Between Word-a-Day and Girlfriends in God, I know I will have two great emails to start my day. I actually look forward to receiving both. They feed different aspects of my life - my intellect and my soul, sometimes crossing over, too. Stimulation is good!

USG doesn't make 'tegular' edges, although they will supply rabbeted edges.
