BruinToo: the food was outstanding. Giant squid, mussels, lots of feta and olives of course...
worth the trek down and even the trip back up! (if you have a car rental, you can drive down.)

ouch! my eyes missed the spelling too ...fixed here.

FantasticMrFaux: if you look through our site, you'll find our archives filled with store and service reviews. Especially when it comes to a service as specific as moving, we find these posts have been helpful to readers.

this should be the link!

Trying to answer all of the questions at once...

Semi-rigid cork insulation, thicknesses from 1/2" to 4":
here

We attached ours using contact adhesive. Pro's: strong, permanent bond. Con's:off-gases.
A non-permanent installation could probably be done with sticky-backed Velcro or mechanical fasteners.

I would think that cork would not make for a good back splash (or a printing medium); it's very porous and most likely water-absorbent. Perhaps it could be made water-resistant?

The material cuts very easily. We used a pull saw with a very fine blade.
The cork is also quite dusty at first. Before applying the contact cement we vacuumed the surface and then again after installation.

thanks, all! Art, your memory is excellent (yep, it's the Southbend) and your suggestions incredibly helpful.

sorry...you guys are right. it was a single person bathroom only, and hard to get some full shots. i'll just say: floor to ceiling, 100% stripes, 4 walls.

yup; link to sartorialist is at bottom of post!

Antonine: you are right. abysmal! I changed a few words and think it makes more sense now. thanks.

hi - thanks for the thoughts. i guess i meant "patchwork" was easy, according to my mother-in-law. i'd love to learn more about quilting in all its forms. also, i use the word "modern" to refer to something new, current.
