    haven't calced the actual square feet yet. It's pretty huge though. No Earl Shibe job. I need some high heat stuff since i'm traveing at the speed of light. A nice silvery color would be nice.

    that's the ticket. Titanium. Send me a rough quote on 1000,000 sq foot.

    I'll write you a check. I need it done before the SHTF so I can watch the chaos from space.
