Doors,Sinks And Cabinets

Today I went with the mother of a dear family friend for a day of price shopping on everything to do with the home. The house I own was built in 1948 and everything in it is from 1948. My beloved and I are moving back into it soon, about 3 weeks. And once back in,We'll be redoing the bathroom and kitchen. Mostly with the aid of a gifted handy man who also is a dear friend. All we have to is buy the materials and assist him,then watch the progress begin.

So anyway....

I and Ann get in her car and drive out to the old city. We stop at the crown and goose for Shepard's pie and queen's own pudding. Damn delicious! Nothing satisfies my tummy more than old english pub fair, cause its the same hearty food most Irish and Scottish (in my family's case we're both) enjoy everyday as well as 200 years ago.

Then onto the glorious rooms of the Rail Salvage Company. Don't let the name fool you: Top name brand's but at a 1/3 of the cost in most cases. Kohler,Pella,Delta,Medwin you name they have it or can get it.

With a trusty note pad and pen. I spend not 1 but 4 hours there, in the 1st building alone,with Ann writing down starting prices of sinks,counter tops,tile,cabinets... you get the idea.

If you spend 1,000 on cabinet's you get a 10% gift card on anything in the company storeroom's.

Wonderful!

The husband will take a look at all this once hes off from work tonight. I can't wait till we can start transforming the house I bought when I was 21 six years ago. We won't be staying in it for more than a year at the most but will sell it to buy 'our' first house together. With the money from the sell of mine as a nice down payment. But first it must look better. Thank the gods of building and remodling for the rail salvage company!
