Pa suggested a visit to some lumber companies to take a peek at their home packages, kit homes they sell with all the materials needed. We found one with a decent plan and when we came back home, we discussed the various layouts and finally came up with a plan for the apartment. You can see the evolution of our discussions here:
As we traveled about, we also hit some antique stores. I scored BIG at one. I found something the girls really wanted for some time...something that Richard and I always planned to get them eventually...when we had the money. Lowest price we ever found for the item was around $120 each. I got BOTH for less than $24. I love getting a bargain gift! I can't say what it is as at least one kid reads this blog! I also found the Pyrex 1 cup measuring cup I've been seeking. The new Pyrex measuring cups are made with an open handle which I hate. So I've been trolling antique stores, garage sales and junk shops looking for the old one with a closed-ring handle. Finally found it and got 10% off, too!
I have no pictures at this time as its been cloudy and rainy and we've not gone up to the Ridge to work the past few days. The welldriller is supposed to be here sometime this week. I hope we are not delayed again. I really want to get this part done as it means we will finally be moving forward on the garage apartment.
