Hick is plugging away at Bargain House. Of course, it's not nearly as exciting as his SUS2.5 (Storage Unit Store 2.5), nor as satisfying as sitting around the Senior Center for an hour lunch, and doesn't garner the glory of taking care of the elderlies and their apartments. One of these days, Bargain House is going to be ready to sell.
Hick got a good deal on cabinets at Lowe's. With his contractor's account, he got $600 off the total price. THEN, when he went to pick up the cabinets a couple days later, the gal he was paying told him about another deal.
"I got down there on Tuesday, even though I'd told them I didn't need the cabinets that soon. The gal asked if I would be needing appliances. Because they had another deal, and it ended on Thursday. Thanksgiving. So I thought about it. I'm not ready for the appliances yet. But I had her figure up the cost, and if I got the stove, refrigerator, and microwave, I could get $700 off. I figured that was a pretty good deal, rather than trying to find them later. So I ordered them, and can pick them up in December."
Hick decided that white cabinets are a thing now. So that's what he got. He and Old Buddy put up the first couple on the day Hick picked them up.
That board will come out. It's there to hold the cabinets level while they screw them into the wall. The next day, Hick put in the rest of the uppers.
I'm sure Hick will trim out that window after the sink and lower cabinets and backsplash are put in. That's the living room behind the ladder. And what looks like boxes with the rest of the cabinets.
The stove and refrigerator will fit along this wall, next to where the door goes into the new laundry room. On the other side of this wall are those open shelves in the laundry room. Hick needs that access to run wiring. Then it will get drywall. That contraption that looks like half an exercise bike is Hick's saw.
I don't know what kind of handles Hick plans for the cabinets. I'm happy to see progress in the kitchen. Imagine how quick this project would have been done if Hick treated it like a regular job, and not three hours, four days a week!
