    Mobil 1 - New round of rebates, low as $2/qt.

    No, just an order number and explicitly calling out that I'd recieve a tracking number when the order shipped. This is my second or third time with similar proof - no issues.

    Mobil 1 - New round of rebates, low as $2/qt.

    I recently received a rebate from a walmart online purchase as well. I simply printed (to PDF) the online order summary page ("Thank you for your order #***") that is available immediately after checkout showing order number, my name, address, itemized purchases and cost.

    Best way to cut foil-backed Expanded polystyrene?

    +1 for the long snap off blades. I used with 2" Thermax (heavy foil faced) to good effect - simply hold a straight edge in place and run the blade from end to end of the sheet. Definitely worth a couple extra dollars for a quality metal handle for the blades vs. the cheap plastic. I can't...

    Basement gym.. how many recessed lights?

    Care to elaborate or share a reference to the right way? I'm obviously not an expert, but every reference I've seen defines footcandle as lumen per square foot. Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot-candle "one foot-candle is equal to one lumen per square foot"
