Becky, the place by San Jose Airport charges me less than $15 a sheet for the white.

I paid $45 for my first ever sheet. Oh, and $10 to make one cut so I could get it in the car. I STILL can´t imagine rolling it. Do you roll is lenthwise or widthwise? I love all your Coroplast traveling stories.

KK, next time I need some, I´ll make the trip down.

OK, think about how the "cells" run one way on the coroplast. You know, the tuby parts that you cut.

Well, you roll the coroplast in the direction of the cells. Does that make sense? We really do need to get Jim to do a diagram or something.

Or are they still busy surfing porn?!?

You roll it so the roll is 48"wide and the 8 ft length is bent to form the diameter of the cylinder. How tightly you roll it will give you a larger or smaller diameter cylinder, but I´d estimate about 30- 36". Sound about right, Becky?

Hahaha, agatha, with these two foster pigs ready to have babies I don´t think I´d better take any more on at this time! But good try, I´m usually a big sucker.

Well, what I ended up doing with one roll was roll it without taping it, stuff it in the back seat, and let it open up to the size of the back seat. Worked pretty well, actually.

But, yes, PP. Good explanation. You are very good at getting a point across.

I tried that. No friggin way. I got it into a loose U shape, and gave up.

It was worth a try. Maybe you could tell a friend that Petey needs them...

Well, I adopted 4 of the boys out this week. 2 each to two friends. They got Prescott (one of mine) both black american boys, and the little chocolate abby, Cadbury.

More later, West wing is on.

How about this pretty girl? She looks like my first guinea pig Sugar Plum. Although I think she is mismarked, she is a peruvian, not a silky.

Sorry, Kleenmama for stealing your thread!

I have six sows from KM's bunch that will be ready for adoption soon. One cream and white shorthaired, one cream and white teddy, one cream and white (or is it red and white?) abby, two chocolate and red (I think that's what we decided) satin shorthaireds, and one red satin abby.

Yep, she's a 'roo. Silkies hair goes BACK from the top of the head, not forward.
