What? A 5-panel door with original hardware in decent condition. Oh yeah, and it's also almost the right size...just needs to lose a few inches in height (it's 83.5 inches tall!). The BEST part...it was only 20 bucks. Habitat for Humanity Re-store in Elgin is our new fav store. I feel that I will spend many Saturday mornings scouring all their inventory! We also nabbed a white marble slab for topping the dining room radiator for 5 bucks.I have to applaud the volunteer staff at the Re-store. They are most accomodating. I was waiting for Chris t
o pull the Focus up to the loading area and one of the volunteers asked me if I had a truck...or a car. I smiled and said "A car" to which his response was "That little one right there?" Me, "Uh huh." He chuckled and then demonstrated his expert twine-tying skills as we got most of the door into the actual car/trunk. My favorite part...the "peligro" ("danger" in Espanol) red tape we used as a red flag on the end of the door hanging out of the trunk. Very chic.
