incoming....junk



this week has been fun, lots of incoming junk. and parts...several people rehabbing houses have brought us doors and windows and even more porch posts...which we really need!! that stuff kind of looks like junk to some but there is a good market here at our store...and im gladtheparts...people like that its real wood and saved from the landfill... they are so creative....
also jon has gotten a nice big pile of antique furniture parts, old fancy bed and dresser parts ,with carving ., more corbels, more legs, lots of spindles,and a nice pile of old doorknobs...some antique tin...all available wholesale....
jons loads might look like junk to some...but here it looks pretty good...for me , checking out the good old furniture he finds is kind of like hog heaven or christmas...
how i trained jon::::we gave him the checkbook, and said go buy...he just learned that way on his own....when you buy something you naturally notice if it sells, if the customers like it or hate it....hes good...cheap and careful...
now im adding, watch what the decorators are buying...thats what i need... so hes in there at the auctions fighting over the frenchy stuff and the fabulously foo foo...
we are a team , with dh doing all the hard parts...like the checkbook,insurance, bills, truck and building upkeep.... the boring stuff...its kind of a sanford and son with a dh in the background looking like, remember that lady neighbor!! poor dh does have to keep up with 3 different checkbooks and all the bills... ; ..
