used building supply store

[lkt]

After watching way toooo much HGTV.. I think we need one of those places where you can go buy used doors, windows, crown moulding, baseboard... etc..

soooo some industrious re-modeling contractor out there ... please get one opened up for us ok??

I think it would do really well.. Geez just look at the Mobs of people at Lowes everyday... I bet they would be happy to buy all those goodies at a discount!

maybe even offer used trailer windows and parts for mobile homes ....

I really cant even think of one close by... and they tear down enuff buildings and houses around here.. someone could get plenty of stock!

And the guys that do re models could turn in the the stuff they rip outta the houses they redo and turn it in for a lil cash!

Closest I have seen to this is a place in Frederick where verified low income people can come in and buy scratch/dent/used/recycled/discontinued/leftover building materials. They were open to the general public on a few days out of the year. Never bought anything there (since I could only go on G.P. days) but they had tons of stuff. There is (or used to be) a shop in Fells Point in Baltimore that had tons of salvaged building materials (all antique). I want to see if it is still there so I can look for stuff for my basement.

I've heard about a Re-use Barn in Waldorf (Renner Road) - I guess it's at the landfill where volunteers rescues usable stuff. Haven't been to it but I would guess the stuff that is available varies from week to week.

My understanding is that businesses and people donate good, reuseable building materials and whatnot to them. They do not get stuff from the dump.

How did his ebay baby food jars painted into a spice rack turn out, anyway? Did the chick dig it?

He refuses to answer that question. So my guess is like a lead balloon.

I wonder if he went out and bought the real one after everyone gave him so much stuff and called him cheap...

Be sure to check out www.southernsalesservices.com. It's an auction type sales warehouse out of Jessup. The auctions are held about every six weeks ... but you can get some awesome deals.

We just did an addition and paid $200 each for double wide (two windows side by side, but in one frame) Anderson windows.

Mahogany & beveled glass doors with side transoms went for $1500.00. We got 18x18 ceramic tiles for $1 a square foot.

You can go in on the Friday before an auction to look around and see if they have what you want.



Also, Habitat for Humanity just opened a re-sale store ... in Northern Virginia. I can't remember just where - but I'm sure a quick search on the net will turn it up for you.
