my wall material costs 35c per bag, or about $2k for a pallets worth of bags, or about 15 HOUSES.
sure, sounds like a good deal.
and then when i got second thoughts, and wondered about the company i'd just talked to, how did i even know they were legit, etc... a couple google searches turned up data about them from OMB Watch, with a list of their govt contracts (in other news, there's a great govt contractor watchdog site called OMB watch....) and in a directory of industrial suppliers. these were, naturally, the TOP RESULTS, so the whole process, from calling them, getting a freight quote, and doing research on the company, took about HALF AN HOUR.
what a world, what a world.
