The house that Craig built.

What did we do before Craigslist?  We have both gotten to the point where we have memorized the postings of all relevant materials and can discuss them in regular conversation.
Rachel:  Andy, do you think the Euro Vent-a-hood on Craigslist would work?
Andy:  The one from Eden Prairie, or the one from Maplewood without the vent cover?
It seems like a strange way to shop, but the deals are outrageous!  This weekend we came out $580 ahead.  We bought a Kohler sink and faucet that had been installed for 2 months, the lady even delivered it to our home.  Then we helped a couple from Hudson by agreeing to sell them the tear-down's corner tub as a replacement for theirs that was ruined by a refinisher.  I think this will be a significant source of savings, so much that I have created a Craig-o-Meter to our blog to tally our deals.

The other topic that has consumed the weekend is COLOR.  We need to make some decisions on exterior and interior colors so we can continue to accumulate materials on Craigslist.  I uploaded our drawing to a color visualizer and asked Lucy's advice.  What do you think of her submission?
