I need a couple of things and was wondering if anybody that reads this thing would know where I could find them.

1. I need a couple of 1½" comb binders. Just two. That's all. I know those only cost $5.43, but then shipping is another $7. They don't sell small lots of this size at Office Depot or Office Max. I've got a couple of books that the glue in the bindings has deteriorated and the pages fell out. I've already punched the pages with the machine at work, I just need something to keep them together.


2. I need some scrap wood, preferably of the deck-building kind. My old dog keeps falling off of our front steps. He's going to die from a broken neck, not old age. We need to enlarge the landing and make a ramp. You know our money situation--we can't afford to buy wood. Especially to fix steps at this crappy mobile home park.

Since I don't have Radar from M*A*S*H* to run this stuff down for me, I was hoping somebody who reads this might know. Thanks!
