Shopping with Mike

Saturday morning is a good time to find treasures.  Mike and I poked around a couple of great garage sales and the Habitat Store.  He found a granite sink for $35 for the casita bathroom and will cut it to fit, a piece we needed for kitchen appliances, and a beautiful old Texas pine cabinet for $125.

Shopping with Mike is like shopping with a male version of me.  He looks for old things with possibilities and has the skill (unlike me) to bring out their potential.  He loves color, as I do.  He built his three-story barn out of recycled materials and that's primarily what we've used for this refurbishing project.

He came back on Tuesday for a short visit to complete the apartment--which we hope to have done in time for tomorrow's writing group.

We've had another great week of working together!
