Planning to do a LOT of slate, but not buying any slate until at least 
is on the way.

I’m sure I’ll do the V8 forehead slap, but what is this?
edit; duh…first pass? Love the new language that’s forming here…all because of a laser. Not just ANY laser, mind you.

Do you have another nearby you could call? I have 3 within my normal shopping radius and only the one near my office carries slate, but they carry 5-6 different platter / wall plaque sizes in addition to the coasters. All $2.99 or under, all branded ArtMinds. Some of them are available online: http://bit.ly/2thFgdf

Do you have a Re-Store near you? The one up here has all shapes and sizes of pieces of slate.

I’ve got 2 not too far away. I thought of getting some materials there, but never thought of slate.

We don’t have a Re-anything near here! Very small town. Joking aside, there might be one somewhere 30 min. from here, but really not worth the drive for me. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

No…probably only Portland…way too far to bother with. Ah, the trade offs for living in a small town. Thanks for the suggestions.
Worth a lot if the drive nets you a ton of slate for little. I wouldn’t expect that necessarily, though.
Or… You could create etch a giant logo on the roof, one tile at a time.

Just pull something of the neighbors house, engrave it and give it back to them as a gift

Ha ha! No one has slate around here. Don’t thing engraving a composite shingle would be very good and it would probably look like…um, no good, either.
