We just got three spools of 3/8" cable. Who wants to make a zipline somewhere? This is good steel cable, and there's a lot of it. Let's make a deal!

Laundry.




We have one commercial washer and one dryer. These are just like the ones at the Laundromat, but without the coin slot. The dryer is gas and the washer is 220v. We usually don’t deal in appliances but these were too good to pass up. Hurry up before it rains.

Lumber! Bottles!



We have been getting large quantities of high quality dimensional Douglas fir. It's all clean and free of nails. Some of the best rough cut lumber we've seen in a while.















Also, we hit the jackpot of old bottles. We have a few hundred bottles of various sizes. Mostly little ones!

Brick Brick Brick!

Good News Everyone! 2000 red clay bricks, clean, no mortar, just magically assembled themselves into neat pallet stacks. They are NOT the old red clay clinkers, but the newer red clay bricks. $0.25 each. Borrow or steal a pickup truck and we'll forklift them right in.

Steve and Franck, two of our longtime customers, recently opened Passion Cafe. It's at 28 6th St. just off Market. They used quite a lot of our materials, they came, they bought, they laughed, they cried, and they obviously did a fantastic job with their project. Go buy a beer from them and sit on the roof patio, and then watch the cars go by.
