Recon at the Home Depot

I spent the day looking at air compressors and staple guns to use in my F.A.M.P. project which is funded by a MakeWork grant. The best deal seemed to be a 6 gallon Porter Cable with 2 nail guns and a staple gun for $299. I also managed to find a 10% off coupon online to save a little extra money. I am hoping it will go on sale tomorrow to save even a little more.
I am still debating on whether to use blue insulating foam to build up the thickness of the bank vault walls or to create it entirely out of wood. The foam will be much easier to cut and assemble, but also easier to damage. The wood will take a lot more work creating templates and making sure all the measurements are just right. The foam will also require a different painting approach because it tends to absorb the paint more than wood. I ran some tests last week on the foam and will check those out on Monday.
