Long time no see Theunim!
Good to see you posting again!!!
Nice to meet you Daron!
Hey Sandy,
The place I go to is called The "Re-Store." It is like the ultimate home remodeling construction place with all used, damaged, obsolete, mismatched stuff. Anyway, Habitat for Humanity is who owns and runs it and people donate most of the stuff to keep it from going to the dump. They have furniture, appliances, and everything to build a place other than raw materials like 2"x4"'s, drywall, roofing shingles... (At least I have not seen these things yet.) Most of what they have is old and retro, but you never know what you are going to find. Sometimes they have restaurant grade dishes and cutlery, and other times there are rooms full of ceiling fans. (This is what makes it fun to go hunting for things.) My art deco toilet paper dispenser is so old (1920's/30's) that I have to modify a newer TP roll cylinder to make it functional. "It's my toilet paper roll holder hack..." (I should make a video for Youtube.)
The downside to all of my finds are that I have to spend money on all the hardware to install my great finds. However, I think I am still getting a good deal and I am supporting a good group with a good cause, and I am keeping stuff out of the landfill.
I am trying to be almost open/finished building by the end of next week.
It may happen.
