Paying for Itself

Today was not a day of work at the house, but we didn't stay idle. We had a big day of shopping hardware stores. Positives of today: We decided what to do with the kitchen/dining room floor. Yay for agreeing on things!!! We got a new front door and door for the kitchen. Bonus: The front door was on sale! ^_^ No picture of it yet though, probably won't have any until it's in place.

The trailer proved itself today. The new decking was needed for what we threw on it. Unfortunately, the weather turned while we were in the store and we had to load up in the sleet and cold. Luckily the lumber yard attendant was able to help given with our 18 (!) 2x8-12's because they were above head height which made me useless. Our trip ended with: 24: 2x4-6's, 4: 2x4-12's, 2: 2x10-12's, 8: 4x4-6's and two doors on the trailer along with those 18 boards and a bunch of hardware in the backseat. We white-knuckled all the way home in the yucky weather, but the trailer held up like a champ.
