I made my first Craigslist purchase today – some shelves for the CDC pantry. I was excited about getting a good deal but a little nervous about getting murdered by a stranger. I made Lloyd come along for several reasons:
1) Less likely to get murdered with a guy around.
2) Guy is stronger than me and can help load shelves.
3) Guy could pay for dinner.
It all worked out. Lloyd used the cinching strap and tied ’em in good. It was awesome looking in the rear view mirror.
We unloaded them at the new center,
then took them inside. They are eight feet tall! Getting them in a door is a bit of a trick. They’re going to go in the basement until the flooring is done, but I wanted to test-fit them.
Good enough.
Successful shopping experience!
