So I am still enamoured with Craigslist.

For myself I have not purchased anything.

Living out of the main traffic couridor I really

have to think twice about going 45 min away

to buy something even if it does save me

money.

But now the real question I have has been

answered.  When I started I wondered if anyone

in their right mind would drive out to our place

to pick up some odd thing for cheap.  I have

to admit I was skeptical.  But they came.

Mostly it has been people from just around here,

many of which already knew us or where we

lived.

But now I have another test in mind.  We when bought

this place there were some old TJIs, which are

basically construction timbers but prefab and used

for joists.

they have been sitting here ever since.  I wanted to give

tehm to Habitat for Humanity, but they don’t have a

way to pick them up.  That’s when I got this idea of

craigslist perhaps somebody would want them.

They are the perfect width for a playhouse or tree house,

and in fact that’s what the previous owner was going

to use them for, but their kids grew up before they

got around to the project.

So I will let you know if I can get someone to come

out this far to get them for a couple dollars.

I will be interested is seeing what the outcome of

this experiment will be.
