Resources...trouble

19 years ago

Think I just got myself into trouble...or asking for trouble. About 6 mos ago I found the Habitat for Humanity store here. I can't stay away from it, builders and Lowes/HD donate their unused stuff. It is a huge warehouse and stop there at least once a couple of weeks. There are so many things for you who create wonderful garden places.

Yesterday I stopped to look at windows/doors/shutters as I have a shed planned using such...and of course to see what is new. Between tile, architectural elements, building components, etc....this place is a treasure, and everything is so darn inexpensive. Even the new items are less than half buying at retail. This week they got in hundreds of antique brass/glass door hardware and tons of outdoor tile.

I told the guy at the counter that my time was going to go up hanging around there if they keep getting so much more stuff. He asked if I wanted to volunteer a few hours, could help track the incoming items and inventory.

This is a very selfish volunteer option...but I said yes. Am working on my backyard this spring and now have 4 hours at Habitat every week to create hardscaping. Will have to be very careful not to make "junk" runs home, but can't do heavy work so am a bit safe unless I find something totally loved and a place for.

If you check, these stores are in most states...highly recommend taking a trip just to see their offerings. Link below to search for a store.
