Or does anybody have any idea what to do with a few hundred like-new drop ceiling tiles?

I think they are about 18" square.

Default They're in Glen Ellyn, 22 minutes from you guys.

I can stack them up in the corner for a while. If they're for Russ, I'll even polish them.

You guys can probably pull my work number from your computer ('03 Atlas S6, I was in there last Monday). I'll only have e-mail/internet access for another 2 hours today. My home computer is not set up yet and my cell phone snapped in half over the weekend.

Place the muffins firmly in the trout farm.

Default Russ------------>

If I were to load them into the trunk of my A4, how many trips are we talking? My buddy has a pick up truck, but it prob wouldn't be till the weekend at the earliest before I could get out there.

My widgets are frying in Kool-Aid.

Default Kevin------------> (edited)

That's the kind of math problem that people win prizes in Helsinki for.

Assuming 2-300 tiles (which is a wild guess), about 1/2" thick (another wild guess) would result in a stack about 150" or 12.5 feet tall. If you fold down your back seats, you might get most of them. Unless you want to transport them end-to-end in which case you'll need a tractor trailer 450 feet long.

<edited> I looked at the tiles here in the office and they seem more like 1" thick in which case my estimate is off my a factor of 2, i.e. say hello to a 25 foot stack of ceiling tiles.

I've got some drywall guys coming over starting tomorrow. They are going to frame for the next few days but I'd like to get the tiles out of the basement before they start hanging.

Plants or no plants, the landing won't be easy.
