Well, Gary, I recall my bulk order had 2 very large items at the top of the list: #1 - 2x4 in Clear: 10,000-20,000 #2 - 2x4 in Trans. Light Blue: 10,000-20,000 As a general order for things to come out in, I would have to go with (in order) (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

Steve, I don't think that something of your scale is impossible by parting out blue tubs. There are 120 2x4 bricks in a tub. That would mean you need to part out 42-84 tubs. This is indeed a large task, but by no means impossible. I sorted 96 tubs (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)
