In Response To: Material: Alternative to XPS foam (Sean McCauley)

Only problem is, here in California XPS foam is not available.

I live in the SF Bay Area. If you're referring to the rigid pink polystyrene foam ... it's been a few years but I last purchased it at Home Depot in Monterey. I still see it periodically at HD in the Bay Area. That said ... it's not easy to find in my area. Seems big boxes prefer to stock the yellowish polyurethane foams and your typical white poly-whatever foam.
