Not long ago one of the major building supplies chains closed one of their stores and they told him it would be easier to just give the merchandise away and let our volunteers haul it out than to inventory, hire people to pack it up, move it to another store, etc. We spent a weekend filling trucks with wonderful building materials to haul back to Bremerton. It felt like winning a TV game show, as we raced up and down aisles filling our baskets and then our trucks. And what a boost for Habitat for Humanity! <BR/>It will feel wonderful if you get those nifty red bathroom fixtures for yourselves and know that you've also helped a family get a home of their own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-76097725512362857832007-10-08T16:38:00.000-07:002007-10-08T16:38:00.000-07:00What wonderful resources!

I've been enjoying Nancy Crow's book recently and your photos remind me of ones she might use to spark a series.

These were cabinets and cabinet pieces that were brand new and never used for one reason or another. She collected for several months and found pieces that would coordinate and that included all the shelving and cabinets in both living room and dining room. I think you are onto a wonderful idea.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00140738523399836125noreply@blogger.com
