Well even though my house is not done, it is amazing what I have for the trailer already. I bought a heavy duty 4x9 utility trailer from a guy on Ebay, here in Phoenix, for 5 bucks. Then because I did not have a place to put it, I went and did some computer work for him (he had a virus it took me four hours to root out) and he agreed to not only store the trailer until the end of October but to deliver it to the new house as well. I traded a company logo design to a fellow in San Diego for a Coleman 40qt electric cooler. I also traded 1 days worth of html coding to a person in my apartment building for this great vintage propane stove (which is a built in type, sits down in the counter) and an RV sink.
Of course I traded an entire website for my 53 Chevy with which I will tow my trailer (as soon as I can find somebody to trade me some clutch work). It is amazing what you can do with no money if you really get creative.
By the way if anyone is interested in the progress of my house, you can see it on my web site under "Members Albums"
Hey if anyone has any extra stuff, clamps, tools, parts, whatever, that they would like to trade, drop me a note!
And remember never stop building just because you are broke. I have gotten used to it, I lost my job in L.A. when they sent my job off to India, and then I even lost my part time job here when the company shut down its telecommuting division. Well, time to be even more creative!
