re: my craigslist se (and my dwindling bank account)
So I made a deal for 100 of these. Used, but in fair-to-good shape.

I *think* I can get a steady supply of 100 every 6 weeks or so.
I get what they are, but what on earth will you be using them 100 of them a week for ?
I'll schedule the (next) intervention.
we're going to see you on a reality TV show one day soon.
What TRAV said
imho they can be used to stack RC's ideas for future generations WONDERMENT
What Gurtie and Trav said :)
>next intervention
I was going to call. But then I figured you might stop me.
I need them for palletizing bricks, concrete blocks, car parts, lumber, assorted hoarded junk, etc. But a bunch of them are destined to become a removable "beach sidewalk" and anti-erosion mat down on the waterfront. If you'll recall my post about being scolded by the state's wetlands authority on G earth view re my beach & bulkhead areas, I have considerable issues to address about 'permanent' structures.
>WONDERMENT
But what I **really** want to explore is using them as a deck material under sheds or as a lightweight substitute for plywood roof and/or walls in a modular, semi-portable building. I already know I can use them as a floor structure for a shed or outbuilding, but I'm thinking larger -MUCH larger. In order to move into in the experimental stage, I need a good supply. It pisses me off to invent something then find out I can't get enough of what I need.
>100 of them a week
I'll probably sign up for another 75, then see what develops. I know I can use that many over time, and they store indefinitely.
I also know a couple of CL resellers, I may set up a deal to wholesale them if the supply proves consistent.
So it's worse than we thought.
> Various uses.
I am both in awe & envy and to be frank highly impressed :)
>worse than we thought
The manic side is where I get shit done, Trav.
Besides, you need a dozen or so of these for your paper towels. Really, where you live, you have to deal with the VB Gestapo about yard 'construction', drainage, and hardscaping. Using these, you can pull up camp faster than a Gypsy then beg forgiveness.
>paper towels
Just had a refrigerator-sized box arrive yesterday. Two Fedex guys walked it to the porch, one on each end. Should be good for a week.
I need another fire extinguisher.
>paper towels
TRAV, I hoard Kirkland Toilet Paper ;D
DRUDGE likes your idea RC

Case lots of "treeless" toilet paper here. Made from bamboo and sugar cane stalks. Amazon Prime.

Yep, remarketing at work there.
Elevated beach walkway:
(6) pallets + (2 pcs) 1.5" galv pipe + (6) deck foundation blocks.
Construction time: about 45 mins.
DE-construction time: >10 mins.
Negligible buoyancy or resistance if it goes under water during a storm, so it should remain largely in place.
