From my experience, some of the cabinet guys take the old cabinets to tax
deduction places like Habitat for Humanity and then write them of their
taxes.
Some poeple don't feel good about going to Habitat for Humanity types of
places to get stuff they need. Because there are other people out there in
worse off conditions than what we are. So some feel they should benefit from
those places and not us. Well, HfH builds houses for people for free anyway
so any money you spend there will go toward building someone a home. So it's
not like you'd be raping the community or anything.
I'n not saying everyone make a mad dash to the HfH, but more so that youcan
sometimes pick up some good stuff for REALLY cheap. Most of what is in there
is old stiff that was torn out of houses for rentovations AND left over
supplies that contractors had on a jobsite that is still new...thye just
don't need.
I personally think you should at least check it out...you can find a gem in
the rough every now and then.

That's a great idea. So I should get to know my facilities guys here at
work?

Also consider office furniture. When our office got all new cubes they
pitched all the old stuff - nothing was wrong with! I acquired 4 - metal
4' over head bins with lights, 10 - metal 3 drawer file drawers and a
number of desk tops. Stored in the attic for now until I redo my shop
that's in the basement but connected to the garage with a 10' ramp that
allows me to park a couple of cars in there as well, unique set up and
that's where the Chevelle goes for winter hibernation.

Jim,
I think that is my plan. The extended space is actually 10x20 which is
plenty of space for what I had in mind....all my tools, air compressor,
fridge, cabinets, and a workbench. What I've seen at Sears or similar
places is that cabinets and workbenches are expensive. I'm thinking about
building my own or finding someone's old kitchen cabinets to recycle.
