I was curious so I googled. You don't have tempered. It can't be cut.

It's certainly done enough for us to live, but things keep
reproducing. <g> I lost a tub that had a bamboo steamer and a deep
fryer in it. It showed up 8 or 9 months after we moved. Believe me,
we're not lazy pigs, we just have too much space for things to collect
in. We've got one bedroom with ceiling high shelving units on 3
walls. The other wall has the desk and files. Everything on the
shelves is for sale and will go on eBay in the fall. We both took 5
months off last year after we moved and didn't have to use any
savings.
