When you're in the middle of a remodel project that is going to cost a few 10's of thousands of dollars (exact figures coming soon, hopefully, stay tuned), saving a few hundred dollars here and there might not sound like a big deal. But it is. Two recent savings.
A fellow was selling a couple of one-year-old (but hardly used) "turbo flush" toilets. He had paid $450 per toilet ($350 retail plus $100 shipping due to no retailers on the west coast), but sold them to us for $300 total. We saved $600.
A couple days ago, another fellow was selling spools of Romex wire he had acquired at an auction. We bought two 1000-foot spools of Romex 12/2 interior wire for $400. Total. About 1/3 of retail.
So, yes, this remodel is going to be expensive, but God is providing in the little ways. Yay!
By the way, I will try to put up pictures soon of all the mold loveliness.
