HUGE whiteboards

[Robby Russell]

Hey all,

I'm looking for huge whiteboards... double sided on wheels. Something
that could act as a room divider and a huge whiteboard.

Any suggestions for places that I could find something like that
online? My google-fu is weak on this one...

Hmm, have you considered making your own huge whiteboard?
a google of 'how to make your own white board' returns a bunch of howtos...

Well, I use sheets of 8'x4' untextured "shower board" that can be had
for ~$12 a sheet from Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. Works great. Just
double up for 8x8 :-) We had an entire apartment bedroom done floor
to ceiling with the stuff at one point.

One note is that around the start of the school year (August,
September, etc.) the stuff goes missing. We talked to the manager and
the guy who does the ordering at our local Lowe's and he insinuated
that lots of teachers try to buy the stuff and it sounded like someone
upstream would rather be selling $100+ whiteboards than $12 shower
board.

Best,
Rick

I have a couple of really large whiteboards (aroud 6 x 8) that I was able to pickup at one of the big-box office stores.  I think it might have been Office Depot.  However they are single sided and not on wheels.

search for "mobile reversible whiteboard", we have em at the office.  just be careful not to crack the guy on the other side of the board in the chin when you flip it over (unless its on purpose)

I second shower boards. They are the hip thing. We have 4 of them all
along one wall. You can kind of make them out here on the left:

Some markers are better then others (erase easier) so try a bunch out.
They are super cheap though so you get what you pay for. Keep a bottle
of Windex handy and it works fine.

I third (??) shower boards. If you go that route, use gromets around the
screws to keep the inevitable blowout/bulge hidden. Similar to what they
have you use when you screw together pre-finished MDF cabinets.

Good point, here's a pic of what we used:

Not rails-biz-specific exactly but I'm wondering how much and what
kind of insurance you all carry on your businesses? I run my
consultancy as an LLC with one other partner. We currently have no
employees but do sub out work on a 1099 basis.

So: general liability vs errors & omissions? Total amount of
coverage? Disability coverage?

Also, do you typically require your sub-contractors to carry
insurance? If so: how much, what kind, etc.?

Thanks!
Mike

Please disregard my previous posting mistake. I've deleted it from
the group's web cache. Obviously I made a mistake in my GMail
management skills.

In summary, both general and E&O for me, running as a single-member LLC.

Hi Robby,
If you go the raw materials route give Tap Plastics a call. (There's
one just over the river on Sandy) They cut huge sheets of all types of
plastic to size and usually know where to get any materials they don't
have. http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/locations.php?lid=3&
