    They have four factory sides even tho they are 1/2 sheets. Never had a nail in them. Although they aren't actually 1/2 as in 4x4... they are 51inx39in or something like that. But cheap enough for that not to matter!

    I dunno if you still need building materials but... I found a guy in lavonia on craigslist that sells half sheets of plywood for 4$ ea or 3$ if you buy 100 sheets. It's a couple hour drive for me but I'll save enough to off set the drive.
