Thumbs up Saved $200

We have been buying Building Material for our Cabin at the Lake little at a time figuring when we get most start on up with it, put the shell up in short order.

Found Windows and Doors at a Lumber Yard 40 miles from our Local Lumber Yards on Sale.

We thought go ahead and look at Local Lumber Yard. I found smaller Windows than I really wanted in my price range. Then we looked at Doors. My wife says the other place has same Door a lot cheaper at the other place.

Got there got the Door then looked at Windows found what we needed but much larger, very much cheaper.

On way out seen they had Batteries and I was needing one more for my Boat. Picked up a Battery

Spent $200 less there and got Bigger Windows, only cost me $10 more in gas.
