NOTICE OF PENDING PRICE INCREASE. By cutting our overhead and moving our fiberglass production to Nevada (and also eating numerous supplier increases), we’ve been able to hold our pricing since April 2002 (that’s over 8 years!). Although, after sitting down with our accountant recently for an EOY review, we seriously doubt we can do it much longer. Don’t say we didn’t let you know.
