Plus, I'm thinking about putting some awnings on it. These are the kind with aluminum frames, and plastic tinted shades. Yup. Just hope they are wind-resistant. Not getting bids for any of this stuff. In preparation for this I bought a damaged-salvage 16-foot Aluminum stepladder from a guy on craigslist from whom have purchased other very useful items, before. Isn't that an amazing coincidence? Anyway, the ladder was damaged and twisted, but the seller said "you can fix that", and by gum, he was right! He was asking $80, firm. So, yeah--I spent a week fixing it. But, I also improved it with material I picked up from the curb of a nearby home. It is a stigmatized property, by the way. The house & vacant lot next to him is also stigmatized! The vacant lot across from those two places is also stigmatized! What do you think of THAT? Should I discuss it here, sometime? Or does it creep you out?
