Hick found a good deal on some innards for the Double Hovel. The best deal you can get, because it was FREE! He saw on Facebook that a distant cousin of his had a bathroom sink/countertop and vanity that she was giving away. All he had to do was go get it.
Like I said, she's a distant relative. Hick didn't know her address, but it's 15-20 minutes south of the SUS2 (Storage Unit Store 2), where Hick was headed Wednesday morning to arrange his new old fishing plugs that he bought at the auction Tuesday night. Cuz sent the address right as Hick was leaving home.
He said the vanity was actual wood, not particle board. He had a picture of the sink/countertop, but didn't send it to me, only showed me on his phone. I was worried that he couldn't load it himself, with his back issues. But Hick took his dolly, and after wheeling it to SilverRedO, he leaned it against the tailgate and then tipped it up and slid it in. He's pretty good at working smarter, not harder.
Hick had a buddy on top of the Double Hovel Wednesday, with temps at 62 degrees, to patch the gully area of the roof where it was letting water seep into the bathroom. So what he saved on the sink/countertop/vanity can pay for that.
Life is never normal when you have Hick.
ReplyDeleteSo true!
DeleteDefinitely a bargain with real wood! Looking forward to photos eventually.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Hick will send me photos when he gets some work done. His first goal is to put in a toilet, so he has a place to poop! Those were his own words...
DeleteThat's a priority alright!
DeleteI think it might be the first thing he fixed at Pony House, too!
DeleteHick working smarter not harder...well yep! He knew where to hide the white cookies.
ReplyDeleteYes, within arm's reach of himself, and out of sight of ME!
DeleteThat Hick is pretty slick! I always check out the free stuff on marketplace. We live in such a small community, that it is usually so far away, it is not worth it.
ReplyDeleteOur small communities run together. You cross the line from one into the next. So it all seems like "town" to us. Hick will think nothing of driving 30 miles to pick up something FREE, since he's usually doing something halfway there anyhow.
