Anyone know of a good source in New Jersey for sheet lead for use in Rod's "Super Door"?

I ended up getting 12 inch wide x 20 feet long lead flashing at Home Depot. It is a total of 50 Lbs (2.5 Lbs/sq ft, not the 8 Lbs/sq ft lead sheeting that Rod specifies in his book) for $112.

If you really require the extra mass you could add another layer of plywood with or without another layer of the same lead flashign ot approximate the final weight of Rod's door.

I'll keep that in mind. It's good to have some other options.

Thanks for the reply.
