    I Think This Is Gloatworthy

    My brother sent me a craigslist ad yesterday for a scrollsaw. It was being sold by HfH and they also advertised their wharehouse sale. I wasn't interested in the saw but we went to the wharehouse sale. I figured I'd get some cheap shop cabinets or something. For about half the cost of a new whirlpool bath we got:

    A whirlpool bath - not tested but I don't think it was ever installed and there didn't seem to be anything obviously wrong.

    2 sinks for the master bath - new
    Pedestal sink for the new guest bath
    Faucets for all 3 sinks - new
    Shower/bath faucet for the new whirlpool bath - new
    2 pair sconce lights for the master bath

    Almost brought home a double vanity countertop too but my wife wasn't sure she liked the color and I told her don't get it unless you are sure.


    Sorry Ed, no gifts for you - the money is already spent!

    Only downside is on the way home I was thinking about installing all of it...

    If the whirlpool bath came empty, you won't know if it leaks. Anyway, to be a good gloat you gotta rave how cheap it was...so, how much??

        GET OUT. You gotta be kidding. Sounds like stolen stuff from my house.

          Nope. Almost took a flyer on a 15.00 dishwasher because it was white and my wife wants a white one. But it was obviously used and I decided not to bother. I don't need another project right now and wiill wait till what we have dies.

          Next month I think I am going back after I have some more of the planning for the rooms done. I want to see if there is any flooring, etc I can use.

            I realized that before I got to the quote. Yeah, it's worth a gloat. Glad I could help.
