Ive gotten so that I just chalk it up to the fact that people are a**holes. A good example is two weeks ago I saw a local CL ad for "free stuff". I saw a few items in the pics that I could use. I called the number and had to leave a voicemail. Poster did call me back and I got together with him Sunday before last and took a few things. There were some old wood frame storm windows in the back corner of the garage. He asked if I needed any to which I replied that I actually did need one wood storm to replace a missing one on my porch. All of those were too big though.
He explained that his great-grandfather made them years ago and that he had more than a hundred more in another building just down the road. I told him I didn't remember the size I needed but Id measure and if he were available the next weekend Id come back and look through them. He said no problem. He mentioned that someone had told him there was a place in a nearby town that might be interested in them. I replied that I might know of the place he was referring to and that I had been there in the past. I explained it was an architectural salvage business and Id try to get the info for him. Before I left he said if I knew of anyone else who was looking for anything he had there to give them his number.
So during last week I got the measurement for the storm I needed and also got the info for the salvage place like I said I would. I called the guy twice before the weekend and left a message both times. I got no call back from him. So all I can figure is he must be an a**hole too. I'm not overly bothered by it as I did get there once and did get the few things I originally wanted. If I have to I'll just make the storm window myself.
