Three years on, now! <br /><br />Everyone we spoke to when we started said slow down, it will take longer than you think, and they were right. We worked on the place every day for 6 months and spent all our money. It was great, and exhausting.<br /><br />We listened to a lot of old timers in our area, and discovered, that yes indeedy, we can get many, many, many things for free by being patient and looking for them locally. I suspect you can get free doorknobs, bee hives, even damaged cans of paint, by being patient. I also discovered people donate stuff to Habitat for Humanity, and if it is not a "standard" item... specific sized windows, for example, they sell it for VERY cheap to get rid of it.<br /><br />Get ready for a happy and busy holiday and new year. I don't know why, but I am very hopeful for a new year. Having a house (and each other) tends to do that to people!<br /><br />We won't be there for your open house, but have a good time!<br /><br />AnnalisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-83854707882023493522009-12-11T16:39:51.668-08:002009-12-11T16:39:51.668-08:00Will there be festive chimney picking?Will there be festive chimney picking?Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00620812321822211147noreply@blogger.com
