We just signed the papers to officially own Bargain House on Wednesday. On Thursday, Hick was already furnishing that purchase.
On the way to meet my best ol' ex-teaching buddy Mabel for lunch, we passed a driveway with something at the end.
"Did you see that? I think it was a sink! If it's still there, I'm stopping on the way home!"
"Well. At least you'll be on the right side of the road for it then..."
"I'll pull into their driveway!"
Hick is as lucky about finding furnishings for flip houses as I am with finding winning scratchers! That sink WAS still there two hours later as we headed home.
"Get me a picture!"
Hick is not great with picture composition. But at least this one was not a small item of interest in a giant panoramic view. Though I could have done without his shadow.
"This will be great for the new house's bathroom! It will save me about $150. The faucet by itself is probably worth $70. And there's two little water connector pipes on the back. They're $10 each."
As Hick was leaving that random driveway, he saw something on the gravel.
"Did I leave some trash? Maybe it fell out of the car. I can't leave trash behind."
He got out to pick it up. It was that Walmart plastic bag shown in the sink. Hick didn't look in it yet. He thinks it was some kind of pipe that goes with the sink.
Anyhoo... a sink has fallen into Hick's lap. The Pony was almost as excited as Hick, when I sent the picture to inform him of the free sink.
