Bexeler Member	# Posted: 24 May 2017 09:35pm Reply We have had great luck at our local restore centers finding deals for our cabin. This is the list of things we have bought at the restore. 3/4" OSB for the sub floor $ 10 a sheet Entry door $15 Insulation $5 a roll 20" electric range $65 Base cabinets for kitchen FREE Counter top $7 We are lucky there is a center that is on the way home from work for both my wife and me so we get to stop there once or twice a week to see the new stuff the have in.

KinAlberta Member	# Posted: 26 May 2017 10:23am - Edited by: KinAlberta Reply My Restore screwup was an impulse buy of $300 of prefinished aluminum oxide black oak stair nosing thinking that I could strip it and refinish it to a natural finish. Dumb, dumb, dumb, right. Tried three types of ("amazing" according to the labels) paint stripper. It just sat there. Yeah, I'm an idiot and I did know that polyurethane is a plastic but I tried anyway. Plane and/or sand? No bloody way! I finally got smart, donated it back and bought unfinished nosing. However, I did find the matching oak boards for the treads at a Restore for about a 1/3 of the new price. Did the basement stairs to match the style going up to the second floor. (A stair company had come in to give me a quote we'll over a thousand dollars and said that they 'don't do and won't do' the fancy nose job that our original contractor had done. He'd wrapped the nosing over the stringer.)
