The letter was one side of one page printed on 24# paper printed and tri-folded at Staples so the address showed out the window when inserted.

Hey Gideon,One thing I noticed in your post is that you use wood stakes and tacks or nails or staples, then pount the stakes in the ground.

I worry about screws leaking but so does nails or those staples pull out of shingles. 

This job market is the staple that has provided such a large amount of stability in the city.

I literally have to charge people $200 an hour to remove staples and open their mail sometimes- It's madness.

I hear poplar is hard to stain too and there are a lot of carpet staple holes in the wood too.Your ideas are appreciated!

@Dovid Staples Congrats on taking the step.

I think some basic home staples are good; paper towels, detergent, a snack, etc.I don't think they will see you as a weakling; and they shouldn't see you as some mighty dictator who rules the land either. 

MANY food staples will last for 15 years and more.

However I also can't believe that a small, crappy, corrugated plastic sign stapled to a telephone pole on the highway offramp gets people to think "This is the guy I should SELL MY HOUSE to", but apparently they do!
