[Rafael "Cabeza" Manrique]

I am finally taking the time to check my email.
Awesome If you guys need an extra hand let me know! Love building stuff :)
If we need money to do this ASAP my label con put some cash up front to get
this done.
Rafael.
PS: The free foam I talked about on the last meeting is gone.

>    someone who can rip them in half.) *COST = $62*
>    - Nine 4' x 8' sheets of plywood or particle board (we can also piece
>    these together to a certain degree, but these numbers are based on the
>    total area of the windows we are soundproofing.) *COST = $270*
>    - Adhesive/wood glue *COST = $20*
>    - metal/wood screws *COST = $40*
>    - Styrofoam (we don't know how much yet because we don't know how far
>    the cut boxes will go, but if anyone has any leads hit us up!)

> That's all for now, talk soon.
