New Project

Friday

As I was checking my emails Friday, there was one from Lowe's for 20% off selected in stock kitchen cabinets.  I mentioned it to Vera, she got her coat and was ready to go.  It is something we have been planning on doing for a long time.  As we were going out the door, we almost fell over a couple of UPS packages.  Debbie's shoes had showed up a couple of days early and a Christmas present for the twins had showed up.  We were going to deliver some presents Marie sent down with us, so it was a prefect time to take Debbie's.  We went to Lowe's first to check out the cabinets, it turned out the ones we liked were not on the special, so we decided to check out Home Depot.  Big surprise, they were 20% off all in stock cabinets, plus they had a style we liked.  I picked up their literature and we headed towards home after a short stop at Michelle's to drop off Marie's present, we had already done Bev and Debbie's on the way to Home Depot.  After an afternoon and evening of measuring and planning, I had a list ready for Saturday.

Saturday

Saturday morning I put the trailer on and we headed to Home Depot.  I got a cart and an assistant and started trying to find the things on my list.  Pretty soon we decided it was hopeless, he used to work in the tool department and did not know this area that well.  He took me over to Malinda who does the orders and we made out a will call list and I paid for it.  She got my number so she could call me when they had located everything.  We left there and I looked at counter tops at Lowe's for a few minutes before cruising around looking for something to eat.  I finally decided on Dairy Queen again today, before we were done eating they called and had located everything but one thing that was supposed to be in stock.  We do have two items on order that they do not normally carry.  We headed back over and they loaded it up for me.  We headed home and unloaded it and after studying the list for awhile, I discovered that I had forgotten two items that I had seen this morning, so we headed back down to pick them up.  I am glad we did because I found a dishwasher end panel I wanted that is not listed anywhere online.

Well this is what the living room will look like for a couple of days, because I can't start until the missing pieces come in.  I found time today to glue a couple more pieces on the Stinson and charge some batteries for tomorrow.
