Check this out...its FREE!
LOTS OF STAMP STORAGE (http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/zip/401532096.html)
Im half tempted to email him and tell him to put it up on the Arts & Crafts section and he could make a couple hundred bucks off it...lol

Christie,
Go to www.craigslist.com (http://www.craigslist.com) and click on Texas. It'll bring up a listing of the big cities near you, click the nearest one. Then click in each section you want to look at :)

I know...I think its still like 2 hours from me, but if I had a house and a car big enough Id go get it.
Maybe Mary will see it and go get it ;) I think Tumwater is near her.

can't you get it and use it as a TV stand for now or something? I"m so jealous of whoever gets it.

Well if I got it, Id use it for stamp storage, thats not the issue.
The issues are that:
1. Im single with no one to help me move it
2. My car isnt big enough and I know NO ONE with a pick up truck (not to mention its pouring today)
3. I live on the second story
4. I dont think it would fit down my hall to get it into my stamp room

I'm sorry Kelly, It's great, I'm seething in jealousy about it.

I'm apparently a very jealous person.

Ok,
so I just emailed him anyway...lol
Not getting my hopes up...everything time I try to get or buy lately off CL is already gone. Someone had one of the tables I want posted the other day for FIVE DOLLARS and it was gone by the time I waited to call them (9:30am on a Sun morning...lol) :wacko:

Do me a favor...if you guys post something on CL, either update to say its gone, or better yet, delete the post when its gone :nod:

I didnt mean that to sound snotty if it did Erin. Just frustrating that I dont have a husband to command to go pick it up for me :arghh::laugh:

lol I feel your pain. My secret single girl trick is to find the name and number of one handyman type guy who has a friend and a pickup and will move just about anything for $20 or a case of beer. I've used it many, many times.

I'd happily drive to Tumwater for this baby! I saw your post at lunchtime, and I emailed the guy. I haven't hear back yet, so now I'm on pins and needles! Wish me luck!

I showed it to DH, and he says he can make one pretty easily. Of course, he always says that but rarely follows through. He has physical issues that prevent him from doing all the things he wants to do, so I don't push. It sure would be nice if he could find the energy to do this project, though! Maybe I can hook you up, I'll keep you posted.

He just changed status to Pending Mary....looks like we are probably out of luck!
Good luck getting your DH to build you one...lol After building one, he'd probably say no to a second! ;)
