Craigslist

   Tonight as most nights, I trolled one of the internet's best spot for free junk...Craigslist. I found a man that was giving away 20 pieces of wood paneling. When my husband came home, we jumped in the car to make our way to tonight's treasure. After arriving, we were greeted by the house's owner, Brian. He escorted us to the back of the house, where he had all the paneling laying against the house. There were two other Craigslist-ers there, a couple, taking all the scrap metal they could fit in their truck. Scrap metal must be pretty profitable since I see trucks all over town, filled to the brim, with large amounts of metal objects.
As Matt examined the paneling, we chatted with Brian about what we were looking for and how we intended on using it. After a short time, Matt came to the conclusion that the wood was too thin for our purposes. We continued to talk with Brian. He described the history of the house and all the work he was doing on it. He took interest in our cause and told us he might have something we could use. He led us to the garage were there sat a solid wood shelf box with three square nooks. It was a perfect size for a tiny house and good quality. We thanked him for the shelf and loaded it into our small car.  Another winning day!
