Gary, that looks awesome!
Flyover, since I'm in a rural area, the rules are rather lax & the staff aren't always very friendly. They seem better now than they were years ago though. We had some downright rude & lazy nurses & staff before. Couldn't be bothered to do their rounds when they were supposed to. They weren't busy running around working like in larger hospitals-- they were sitting on their asses chewing gum & reading magazines-- for hours. Some of them wouldn't even answer the phone when it rang. Fortunately, the staff are nicer now-- but they are still dismissive of patients who have no insurance or that they think are drug addicts. I've had nurses tell me that they treat people they think are drug addicts differently bc they suspect they are just trying to get pain meds. It really sucked for my friend bc he had to go to the ER 3 times before he finally got diagnosed with kidney stones.
I made his day again both yesterday & today bc I found the pantry cabinet he wanted was back in stock & on sale for 50% off (plus 10% off that bc Mom came along for the military discount). Got that & the cabinet to go above his stove (that the range hood attaches to). Found a liquidation store in that area & found a really nice range hood for $79 (it's normally $189 at big box stores). While we were there to pick it up we found a stainless steel automatic sensor trash can for $35 (retails for $120). His fiance fell on his plastic trash can & broke it. Also got a shelf kit for his pantry, shelf liners, and the toekick trim all for 10% off. He wants to go back for one or two of the ceiling fans when he gets more $.
We're trying to get the witness who saw part of the fight between my friend's fiance & the brat that attacked her. He showed us exactly where she hit her head & he'd even told the local cops that he saw her trip over her own feet & fall. So, it wasn't even being pushed that caused her to hit her head. We also found out that she lied about the guy trying to rape her and the girl who said the guy did assault her was lying as well. This guy is now in prison waiting for trial bc two underage brats lied to the cops. The other girl's mother actually admitted to people that her daughter said she lied. I told the person who was telling me about it to call the parish cops & tell them because they needed to know that. It may also help the fiance bc it will show a pattern of lies from the brat.
I got my friend to take pictures of the new pantry & cabinet with the range hood sitting upsidedown on top of it. He thought the upper cabinet would be deeper & said he wanted to push the cabinet forward. I pointed out that if he did that, then it would cover the knockout spot for the in-room venting. It has a filter so it doesn't need to vent outside. (He has a smoothtop stove so there shouldn't be any fire).
The person who told me about the brats lying is the neighbor who lives across the street. We showed her the kitchen & told her about the discounts. She was impressed. My friend then said that all he has to do is tell me what he's looking for & I can find it cheaper for him. She also really loved the color of the stain on the cabinets. I kept thinking it was minwax, but when I checked the can, it's Rustoleum weathered gray.
Here are some of the pics from the kitchen. My brother had to pose for some with the new shirt I got him.
