Craigslist Rocks

Last night we got a 4K deck off craigslist for $150. sweet. Its made from trex material and pretty much all disassembled of course. Looks to be in pretty good shape too. We got it from a guy up in Alpine in some fancy house. He had no idea how much it would have been to build it brand new, he was amazed at how many calls he had gotten about it. When Aaron told him how much it would have been he was shocked, and probably felt a little stupid for just giving it away practically. Anyways, now its taking up our whole garage, anxiously awaiting the final grade on our yard so Aaron can put it back together. Aarons pretty excited about it, since he really really wanted to build a deck out back. But when he took his plans to homedepot to get some pricing and they quoted him 5K his dreams were smushed and he was sad. So hopefully it will all work out and if anything we will just have to replace a few pieces. Like the one that fell off the trailer in transport.
