Hick found a corner shower for Bargain House on Facebook. He drove 3 hours round trip to get it. The cost was $250. A new corner shower would cost $600. Hick said it came without a door. He knew that before he went to get it. He says the doors are sold separately on this product anyway.
"I bought Old Buddy lunch at a Mexican restaurant, for riding along with me to pick up the shower."
"That was nice of you."
"Well... WE bought Old Buddy lunch. It will be part of my bill for February."
Still, it was a nice gesture. Old Buddy doesn't get paid for time riding. Only for time working.
Hick said the shower guy also tried to sell him the faucet unit for the shower. Hick looked in the box, and there was a piece missing. So he didn't buy it. The guy told him that part is sold separately for this faucet.
"Is it?"
"I don't know for sure. I'll check it out when I go to Lowe's. But I wasn't going to buy something with a piece missing, just on that guy's word."
Hick said he and Old Buddy have all the wood flooring done for the bedroom adjacent to this bathroom. And that he has a pedestal sink and medicine cabinet that won't cost us anything. He saved them when he remodeled a bathroom for one of his Senior Center cronies.
I suppose a $15.00 lunch is a reasonable expense for Hick getting Old Buddy's help.
