ReStore Portland, Maine
Posted on | July 28, 2008 | Comments Off
We have to buy everything new for the house from sinks to molding. Since neither one of us are millionaires we need to find cost effective resources for the renovation. We don’t have the money to just hire an architect and come back in a few months to a gorgeous home. We are excited about doing all the work ourselves. I love the hunting part. You never know what you’ll find.
On Friday, I headed up to my mom’s house in Portland, Maine to check out some local resources for building materials. We checked out the Restore run by Habitat for Humanity first to see what they had. I saw lots of doors, windows, moldings, sinks, and spare wood. A great resources for anyone working on a renovation. Greg and I really want to use as many recycled materials that seem appropriate not only because it is cost effective but it’s just logical to use old buildings supplies for a home. We don’t want to add to the waste in landfills and junkyards. I took a few shots of the store so that you could get idea of what you can get at these store.
