John,

Can't help you with those locations, but I can tell you to be ready for sticker shock on material prices. Government sent 13 trainloads of plywood to Iraq over a year ago and the prices haven't come back down nearly enough from the spike that caused. Two plants were shut down, one for retooling, another from a fire in Quebec. The remaining plants could not meet demand, especially after last year's hurricane season. Add in fuel increases and the premium we already pay for marine grade and.......

eessed:

Yes that was TRAINLOADS!

Don't blame the messenger, please.
