Paint roller trays? A lot of the stuff George Barris did looks tacky by today's standards. Looks like he shopped for custom car parts at the hardware store.

Crawspace is space that has been allocated to, and used by your house's craws. Sheesh, do I have to explain everything?

George Barris was well known for using everyday crap from the hardware store to customize cars.
Check the front grill materials on both cars.

Your house went crawless? What does it do for support? You don't want the house to start sagging when it gets old. Foundation work is expensive, you know.

My house in Cow Hampshire has a basement. The house in PA has a partial basement, and a crawlspace.
