M and I got back last night from our trip to the Big Beyond. As always I couldn't wait to get home where it's more quiet, but we did make some excellent scores. Can't talk about everything, but the principle purpose of the trip was to score building materials and in that we were totally successful. We basically swap a weekend of labor for a truckload of whatever salvaged booty we can score. Since we're both pretty well into the construction phase now we could get more specific about what-all we could use, and we could use a lot. I've got nearly everything I need for electrical, some (surplus, I hope but doubt) framing lumber, and a whole bunch of odds and ends. There was also an excellent workbench that was just sort of sitting there, which started out mine and somehow became M's.
The big question yesterday afternoon was whether M's little pickup would even make the trip with its little 4-banger engine, or whether we'd just collapse into a spontaneously-formed singularity from the weight of all that stuff.
Got it unloaded this afternoon in various locations, these photos being only a portion of the booty, and now we have collapsed into a collective heap and are waiting for sundown.
