OMGoodness, what a find

17 years ago

During my lunch today I swung by the Habitat for Humanity, "Restore" (I call it the Rehab), any way I have been looking for windows and doors to build a lean to greenhouse. They had 2 triple windows, but wanted $150.00 a piece.Whew! I noticed a pile of wood windows and doors on the side and he said nobody would use them in thier house and they were free. After a quick phone call to DH he met me and we loaded 16 windows and 2 doors (the kind that jeannie used for her arbor). I only need a few more things now. I have the best DH ever, he loaded all that in his dress clothes with a minimum of grumbleing. I will post pics later when we get started,lots of work ahead, but it was meant to be.

    Let us know what you do with them.
    Extra kisses for your sweet hubbs..

    its shocking what people will toss. i was coming back from the beach last saturday and saw some scrapbooking stuff on the curbside. (i am an avid scrapper) i whipped over and got as much as i could and sent my son after the rest. we are talking brand new, still in the package scrap stuff! but the mother of all things i dug out of those black trash bags was a brand new, still in the box, never removed from the plastic, brand new slicer/shredder attachment for my kitchen aid mixer. well, my heart must be good b/c i'd certainly have died from all the excitement!

    What a great DH and what a great deal! I love having a junkin' buddy. My Bob and I drove by a house we are interested in. We couldn't stop on the road in front of it because it is a highway with no parking lane. So I drove around to the back through the alley so we could look at it. What was the first thing my Bob did? Go looking through the garbage! No one lives in the house so we didn't have to worry about getting yelled at. Bob was telling me all the new things they must have installed in the house. lol! He took some scrap pieces of copper piping and I took an old painted wooden chair with lots of character. Some day when I have a yard, I'd love to plant that chair. Give your DH a big hug and smooch from the rest of us!
