[Ferro List] affordable lath

[Peter Epperson]

    For many years I have bought my steel from a local concrete construction supplier. They were a little pricey but I appreciated their service and I always support local when practical. 2 years ago they sold out to White Cap (I believe they are part of Home Depot) and everything went down the toilet. They have now sold out to the Carlyle Group, a Saudi/Bush family juggernaut http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article3995.htm that recently bought our local telecommunications company and now even our little concrete materials supplier. Most prices there have now doubled. They are selling a sheet of riblath for $14.45!!!!! I'm now bringing the same rib lath in from So. Cal. for $4.30 each (plus $1.14 for shipping to Hawaii). The 3.4 diamond lath is $3.42. I just brought in 1000 sheets and saved almost $10,000 from what I would have paid the cartel. You may need to buy 500 sheets at a time but the savings are worth it.
