Mike,
One possibility would be to check with a hardware store over in Big
Bear.  It snows there, they may have it. Plus it could be a fun day
trip.  There are plenty of turn outs going up that hill.

Subject: Seeking "Ice Guard"

"Ice Guard" is a flexible sticky-back insulating roofing material with
foil on one side.  Several folks have suggested using it as an
inexpensive sound-damping material. Good for inside door panels and
such.

The stuff is primarily designed for cold climates with high snow and ice
accumulations. That would not be here where temperatures seldom drop
below 45F, and snow is only the stuff of movies and Christmas cards.
Which is why none of the roofing supply houses carry it. My minimum
order from them would be a roll that would cover 100 square feet. Their
minimum order would be a truckload, just to get that one roll. They are
not enthusiastic.

If anyone online has e-z access to this stuff, and would not mind
shipping some to me, I would be happy to pay for it. I reckon that I
would not use more than 20 square feet.
