SO, Sunday night, there was a special deal via our realtor where you get a special percentage off at the local mom and pop hardware store. BRILLIANT idea .... great partnership.
Ok, so I dragged E there because I feel badly for constantly borrowing Coop's radial sander. We need our OWN, I told Erik. So we looked at them, and settled on one. Great. But there was a fella (who I think likes to hear himself talk ... I don't know anyone like that!), and he was talking the EAR off the salesman. Finally, we just interrupted and told the salesman we want THAT sander, and we're told it's the last one.
Uh-oh. Mr. Chatterbox seemed a little ruffled, but we were able to sort it all out. While the salesman went to get the box, Mr. Chatterbox saddled up alongside ERIK and talked his ear off about all things power tools/batteries. LIke *I* wouldn't understand what he's talking about. Humph.
So, yesterday, we went to Lowe's. I got a gift certificate and wanted to get supplies to work on our outdoor patio. First up: a privacy screen to hide the unsightly air conditioner. :) So we looked at the assembled ones, but at $50 each ... and we'd need 3 ... I felt we could build it ourselves. So we rumbled around the store, gathering our materials. We had to do some creative checking out b/c we had a few coupons for "$10 off your $50 purchase." But we made it all work out.
When we got Erik's beast pulled around, we could fit the posts, but not lattice in it. So, we tied it on the top and away we went!
If anyone wants to help us dig post holes, let me know!!! We have 4 to do. :)

We purchased an orbital sander, darling, not a radial sander ... No wonder Chatterhead wanted to talk to me ;-)
