Try an internet search for wholesale suppliers of gypsumboard - try
different word combos like drywall, sheetrock, gyprock. "Olivio Munoz" wrote in message news:cccc9e46c58ec1ed2d40fc08753b59c6@homerepairli ve.com...

My drywaller goes through 400 sheets per day. He gets a slight discount, but he doesn't use those homeowner stores. He (and I) use a real drywall supplier. Try looking for one that sells to small customers such as yourself. -- Robert Allison Rimshot, Inc. Georgetown, TX |

Did it occur to you to look under "Drywall" in the Chicago Yellow Pages? -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |

Looking for large amount.
400 sheets is a fair sized order, but not unusual. The material
will be priced by the square foot or 1000 square foot. Why are you buying it rather than your drywaller? Don't necessarily assume you will get it for less than a big box store on sale. Commercial drywall and stud suppliers provide delivery, stocking, carry the largest selection of lengths, go the extra yard to keep a job on time, help find strange or specialty items, often offer a 1% or 1 1/2% savings for timely payment, and might buy lunch a couple of times a year, and provide pencils, ball caps, and tablets.. These add up to construction site values far greater than a few cents per square foot one way or the other. Here is a simple list of commercial supply houses in greater Chicago from internet: http://www.yellowpages.com/sp/yellowpages/ypresults.jsp?q=drywall&rType=headingtext&id=3&p=1 &v=3&t=0&st=IL&s=2&ci=chicago&_requestid=205417 I am not from there, but I think I recognize the Reinke name. We have one named Drywall Supply, probably not related. Call them all, the worst they do is tell you they only work with contracting companies. ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . .
