Night one in the new place. Laying there in the master�s chambers, looking up at those bare walls, the reality of the transaction starts to set in: �Motherfucker, This is gonna be a great experience.� First off, I�m gonna have a ton of room to work with. All my gear, and shit, there�s a ton of it, doesn�t even make a dent in the space up for grabs. 01. The Bedroom is for sleeping/reading/wardrobe selection. Excited to get the new pad all set up. - - - - A Fairly Honest Transaction. Plus, on the way back from dropping DiPonio off at the Max for her flight back to Chicago, some flat files outside of Fairly Honest Bill�s caught my eye. I double-parked and went in for the kill. �How much you asking on the flat files.�- Draplin Hamilton Flat Files � 10 drawers, 2 pieces plus base, slate gray, built like a tank, weighing in a little over a ton, give or take a file or two. You bet. The way we look at is, �It�s a good weight for the foundation, y�know�.in case a tornado comes ripping through or some shit.� Very excited. There Are 8 Comments
Hey Aaron, congrats on the house and getting what you have wanted for so long. The flat files look very cool. Posted by: Andrew M. on 07/12/04 at 1:28 PM
Flat Files are the greatest… if you ever need another one estate sales i picked up one about the same size for 150… estate sales are the best… have a great time with the new place, and have fun with this… cheers, Posted by: isaac B. on 07/12/04 at 1:56 PM

Flats sounds great. You’re going to have to start the “poster a month” series now that you have all that storage. Posted by: Kurty on 07/12/04 at 8:51 PM
A, I scored my flat files about 6 years ago. They are pretty much identical to yours (althoug I paid a bit less than you - *GRIN*). They’ve moved with me wherever I’ve gone (currently residing in Aptos, CA - one block from the beach baby). They are a great investment but a bitch to move. Good job. Can’t wait to see some more pictures of the house. -a Posted by: Andrew R. Jenkins on 07/12/04 at 9:07 PM

Few things can bring a grown man to cry. Thin drawers are one of them. Posted by: haker on 07/13/04 at 1:22 PM
Wondering who the hell Fairly Honest Bill is, I found this on the net - sounds like you guys might be cut from the same (slightly soiled) cloth: “On my list of “places I’ll shop at when there there’s a brisk sale on ice skates in hell” is Fairly Honest Bill’s. I don’t care if my dream sofa is on the sidewalk out in front, I refuse to shop there. I’ve been told that he has the connections to acquire his merchandise for next to nothing, so it really doesn’t matter to him how long inventory sits or what it ultimately sells for. Bill gets a lot of attention for being a prick to his customers, and honestly, I see no reason to spend my money with someone who takes pride in being a jerk. I had a run-in with him a few years ago. Nothing in his shop is marked, and I asked the price of a CD shelf that had seen better days. He quoted me $45, even though I could purchase it new elsewhere for $25. I brought this up, and he raised the price to $50. I shrugged and walked away as he called after me, “$60! And that’s my final offer!” I haven’t been back since.” rad.
