We are the deal team. We love a good bargain and a good sale. Today we hit the jackpot with our neighbor. Found a warehouse that some guy has been collecting things in and now wants to clear out. He had EVERYTHING and it was never ending. WWII Army jeeps, an old ambulance, top of the line light fixtures, lamps, furniture, mirrors, switches, I could go on for a while. Most of it is things he accumulated immediately after Katrina from stores that closed and now doesn't know what to do with.
We dug and sweat and bartered and came out with quite an array of treasures:
A new chandelier, a new iron light fixture for a bathroom, two new ceiling medallions ↑
three new ceiling fans (still in the box, never touched), AND a 1970's
Coke machine
(because that's totally a necessity) for a
fraction of what they were originally and are still worth.
If we would have had more cash and more room in the truck we would have kept going. We honestly had SO much fun even though we were sweating, dusty, and Scott had just gotten off his night shift. It was a blast and we are totally hitting that place up again!
