SCORE......

Last week we ran into Home Depot looking at appliances.  It's not getting even close to the time we need them, but we wanted to start doing some price shopping.  We do have a budget after all.  So last week when we were looking the saleslady was nice enough to tell us that there was a huge sale starting Veterans Day..Today!...and it would be worth our while to check the website first thing this morning.  We did...and were shocked... The price on this collection was unbelievable..




Stainless steel, 4 pieces and a great price that you can see on their website...(left side about halfway down). I don't think I will miss the ice/water on the door..  I never use it anyway and this one has an ice maker that's easy to get to...  The dishwasher is just a dishwasher...nothing fancy although it is a "tall tub" whatever that means... And a microwave.  It's more fancy than we need, but it's the package microwave.. I only use mine to heat water for tea or hot chocolate and then my frozen veggies... We did upgrade to a different stove.  Ours will have a convection oven, steam clean and dual heat burners.  Just like this one... (yes, I did take photos at Home Depot.)






and then we went down the road a bit and picked up our flooring...  We ordered from Lumber Liquidators.. There was a bit of a snafu ... We ordered our flooring a week ago Monday.  It had to be shipped from Memphis to our local store and we were told they would call us when it was in.  tap, tap, tap...no phone call.
Rich finally called and oops, it wasn't ordered and now Memphis is out of the flooring.  Luckily they found some in Toledo...we were worried because the floor we purchased is being discontinued .  They are keeping the color, but they are changing the finish and we liked the old finish. 



This is 50 of the 72 boxes we ordered...  A whole lot of weight in that truck.  It will head out to the house this weekend to sit in the sewing room and "acclimate" to the house...  It will have plenty of time as the floors are the last thing that will be done...

This weekend is the start of deer season in Missouri...not sure how much work will get done..

See ya Monday...

Beautiful kitchen appliances, Nancy. You won't be sorry for the upgrades, and to get the package deal is a plus. We tried to do the same when we purchased our house, but it didn't work out. Hope your flooring goes in smoothly, too. So much work, but it's all so wonderful in the end!

I love that stainsteel look. Did you look at the stove with two ovens? I saw them where the small drawer on the bottom, is now the new small oven on top. Perfect for 2. I wonder when my 17 yr old stove will die ? ? ? ?
Deer season is ready to go here. Yeah for cabin food and no dish washing!!

Good luck to your guys.

A tall tub means that you have to sit on the floor to load the bottom rack. Otherwise your back goes out and you can't walk. The first night we had our "tall tub", the twins were here for dinner. Pat turned to Pam and said, " You sit on the floor and I'll hand the dirty dishes down to you." And so it goes. Good luck. Our new dishwasher was delivered last Saturday. Love, Love, Love it.

I have that style refrigerator and LOVE it. You got a really good deal. I'm behind on blogs but see you are making good progress. I guess a slow weekend (due to the hunting that might go on instead) won't hurt much.

Soooo glad you got the flooring you wanted! Hopefully the rest will be there for you soon! Isn't it the pits when these things happen? Nice to have your own truck to do these things too... my daughter and her hubby got new flooring b/4 we got "our" truck and I put it into the back end of my jeep! Or at least some of it! They put the rest in the back end of their hatchback.... lol... talk about funny looking! At least my jeep would close (without decapitating me!) She had to hold the flooring so it was outta the way so he could shift!
Have a good weekend!
