Julio, yes I have seen the storage sheds, went visiting the co. back in Sept.1997. My first impression was they have a winner, looks like it will last a 150 yrs. 0 maintenance. What I really liked was the low cost homes built as solid as a rock and constructed within 3 days on the approx. 800 sq ft homes. My recollection was they can be built for approx. 40 to 50 $ per sq. ft. and once again built solid as a rock with 0 maint. exter. and inter. I wish I had kept my original amt. of shares. Still holding tight with remaining shares. This market advance is scaring me, don't want to ride any of my positions down as I got crushed in oct.97 SEA bust. Later Al

Royal Group to buy Sarnia PVC facility ÿTORONTO, March 31 (Reuters) - Toronto-area vinyl building producer Royal Group Technologies Ltd. said on Tuesday it will buy Imperial Oil Ltd.'s Sarnia, Ontario-based PVC resin facility in a deal valued at C$82 million. ÿ Royal Group said the polyvinyl chloride plant, which has a production capacity of 400 million pounds per year, will be used to supply a number of resin grades for use in Royal's operations. ÿ Royal produces vinyl building products, including vertical window blinds, siding and pipe, as well as pre-engineered, modular buildings. ÿ Gregory Misztela, a Toronto-based analyst at Griffiths McBurney Partners, said the company will benefit from having its own resin facility and technology, significantly reducing costs. The plant will be used solely for Royal's production. ÿ "It's not really surprising that these guys want to be more integrated," Misztela said. "They've been growing extremely fast and one of the major concerns was the availability of PVC. They are obviously securing most of the needs for this." ÿ "I view it as another step towards the full integration of this company. Sooner or later we knew they had to expand into this area and it's probably a good deal for them." ÿ The acquisition, subject to regulatory approval, is expected to close by June 1. ÿ In mid-morning trading Royal's shares were up 0.30 to 46.50 on volume of 10,540 shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange. ÿ ($1 $1.42 Canadian)
