I went down to Economy Lumber today. The brand on their panels is John Manville.
Vinay (or anyone else who knows): what is there to distinguish one brand from another? What am I looking for? I'd hate to spend $300 on the wrong thing, but on the other hand it would be nice to save $100. How do I decide what's appropriate?
