This company will take an order for 3/8" by 8' by 4' plywood sheets over the phone with payment by credit card ($21.90 per sheet for "BC Fir") and they will deliver the load to the building for you. You can get 8 people's wood out of one sheet if you're buying one piece per person OR if you all want a lid (recommended) you can get four people out of one sheet. One of you has to call in the order and tell them to deliver to the architecture building. They are prompt and you will have it in the shop without a hassle. GO!
