    Today's expenditure will be a set of balusters from ReClaimit!  ReClaimit! is a store at 1 North Killingsworth in Portland.  It sells items reclaimed from the transfer station under an agreement with Metro and Recology.  They sell wood at extremely low prices.  My project today is to build a barrier for my stairs.  My 18 month old granddaughter is walking and likes to climb the stairs to explore the 2nd floor and its toy potential.   She's getting fast, so I need a barrier.  A couple of 2x2s and some ballusters with a little Velcro and all will be good.
