amazingkevin Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 Bad news is the wind played havoc with my out door shop .You would have though a twister went thru.I had stacks of this and that to organize and everything teetering whent over.Me getting on my hands and knees is not going to happen easily.I'm behind in jobs im run down and over BUT I've been trying for a month an a half to contact a person on Craigs list for many new cans of stain ,unopened.Finally a breakthrough came. I noticed on the center bottom of this display there was half an address.I reasoned that it could only be one side of town and a few blocks from me.Three trips there and finally someone answered the door.I showed him the print out from craigs and he said that's in his ware house which has someone there right now.He had no idea why his address was on the wood but who cares i finally put closure to the escapade.Thank you JESUS! THEY WANTED YOU TO CONTACT THEM BY E-MAIL WHICH I DID 15 TIMES AND WITH LOADS OF MY CRAFTS I NEEDED TO STAIN ,But nobody ever returned the reply's and they took it off the list for a few weeks????I got it now because of my detective work!YES!The box is so full and heavy i can't lift it. bobscroll 1 Quote
