Habitat For Humanity To The Rescue!

"Thinking outside the dumpster" is not just about selling the stuff. It's also about making sure the good, usable stuff can go to a new home. Think "Tax Deduction"!

"Habitat For Humanity" accepts these materials... and more! They use what they can in their houses. To raise money, and to provide low-cost materials for other fixer-uppers, they also run "The Re-Store" with donated materials. http://www.habitatdetroit.org/


So today, "Steve" and "Mat" came out with their truck. They picked up - just their first trip so far in this project - what did not sell on eBay or Craig's List - a door, a medicine cabinet, a ceiling fan and much furniture.


I was their first stop. I snapped them while they loaded the truck.


2 lonely pieces of furniture got passed by! I lowered the prices and put them back on eBay for a last ditch effort.

Stay tuned as the progress rolls along and we salvage more stuff. Do you think I can sell my furnace?
