Almost new wood

I thought I finally hit it on craigslist for some wood. Actually, I thought that twice.

The first time was a posting that I responded to less than 5 minutes after it was posted. People moved into a repo and there was a bunch of oak, maple, poplar, and others they just wanted to get rid of. No phone number, so i sent an email right away.

Someone had already responded to the post and was going to take it.

The other wood was excess 2x stuff and plywood that I was going to use to build a couple three workbenches out in the garage. Sent an email, got a response, set up a time. It’s about 25 miles from home and I got there 5 minutes after the agreed time.

She thought I was there for the bed – someone had just gotten the wood.

*sigh*

If I had known it was going to be a wasted trip I would have taken the car as it gets better mileage.

Score: craigslist: infinity me: 0
