I can't help it - I seriously am addicted to Craigslist. Look at what I found this weekend!

| There's about 3700 pounds on this trailer. It's overloaded! |
A nice couple was tearing out their 14 x 16 paver patio and just wanted to get rid of it. It's a blend of red, grey and black. In other words, the perfect color to match our $1400 house!
When we went to look at the patio on Saturday afternoon, the whole family was pulling the pavers up from the patio in the backyard and stacking them neatly next to the curb for pickup. With a neighbor's help, we stacked them in the Dingo trailer and the back of the truck. Oops...we overloaded the trailer and it started to smoke as the wheel rubbed the inside of the fender. So we had to stop and take a row off the trailer and throw it in the truck.

| These used to be stacked nicely. |
These pavers go for anywhere from 78 cents to a dollar, so I estimate we've got about $1400 in free pavers. That's definitely going to help keep our budget down on this house.
Can't beat that with a stick!
Of course, you'll have to count the new tires and other trailer repairs in the final cost of the pavers...
