My Morning Has Taken an Interesting Turn
I was trolling the craigslist free postings this morning and came across an ad giving away free plywood, lumber and foam insulation. Ray called the guy this morning and apparently, it is a roofing company that has somehow accumulated all this material and needs to clear it out. Ray and I are hurriedly looking into renting a large truck to haul as much as we can carry from St. Paul to C.F. Luckily, we all have a four day weekend starting tomorrow (Minnesota Educator's Convention - no school) so we have some time to deal with it. We were planning on heading to Camp on Friday anyway to inspect the foundation that should be completed. The trip may be a bit more strenuous than I had originally anticipated. I'll keep you posted on this potential Craigslist score!
***Update - It's a no go :( Someone was able to get out there first and snatched it out from under us! Man, you have to be able to work fast to score the free stuff!
