Ingenuity

Todays posts are all about ingenuity. We've all seen the postings for free piano, ping pong table, couch... all these things have something in common. No one wants to buy them, and it's a pain in your a$$ to get rid of them. You practically have to pay someone to haul it away. Solution: post it on craigslist with the enticing "FREE FREE FREE" tagline.

Well today's post takes that concept a little bit further. It's a tight economy and everyone is looking for creative ways to shrink their expenses. Can't afford to have that tree removed from the front yard? Don't want to pay construction cost to demo a room? No Problem. Solution: post it on craigslist with the enticing "FREE FREE FREE" tagline.

A bit of elbow grease and these are yours for free:

Knotty pine paneling that was outlawed in 1978. I like how the owner insists that you have to get this done in one day. Doesn't he know that construction always goes over and you can't expect much for free labor ;)

  1. The wood paneling looks like my den and hallway!

  2. Didn't mean to offend. Do you actually *like* your paneling?
