I can't believe they don't have a warehouse of machines that allows a swap-out within a few days.  

I mean come on anywhere is better than North Pole, Alaska and it's 158 degree temperature range., besides you don't have to deal with us crazy Alaskans.

Temperature 32, dew point 32.

I'm in South Carolna and today on the front page of our newspaper there was a four page spread with pictures of the mega student warehouse rentals out by our stadium.

When I think of light industrial I think of fairly start, blocky warehouse sort of buildings.

Tim -I don't think anyone here was advocating telling their contractors what building materials they should and shouldn't use (unless they are a contractor themselves).I think the point of the discussion was more along the lines of who PAYS for the materials, and the tactical aspects of getting the materials paid for.As an example, my contractors can specify all the materials, and then I can pay for them and have them shipped directly to the work-site, where my project manager can ensure that everything that was delivered was either used, returned, or put in our warehouse for future use.At least that's how I interpreted this thread...sorry if I misinterpreted it...

For another alternative floating floor product, check out Surplus Warehouse for pricing....

Also set expectations about temperature in the winter/summer.

The reason for that is that when that job is done, that tool/machine/vehicle can sit on the shelf or in the parking lot or in the warehouse and cost very little to just sit there waiting for the next job.  

I would imagine some bad smells could survive the lower temperatures.
