BIG Karma

The last time Sergio, Victor and I went to BIG (Build-It-Green) we found this lovely matte gold Waterworks Showerhead set only to be told a few days later that it was no longer there. Also gone was a pitch black granite counter top 2" thick which will be a perfect foil to the black stained kitchen cabinets.The only item which they still had was the heavyweight commercial-kitchen-hose style faucet.
In any case we had to drop off our BIG donations (taken-apart wooden loft, two sinks and the stove) so we made a second trip there today. Imagine our delight when we saw the black granite top still there! I will attribute it to good karma from the donations, notwithstanding the tiny tax benefits. The three pieces comprising the granite top were super heavy but we managed to lug it into Victor's van. This will save us precious days on the work schedule not having to custom cast it on site. No picture of it here but cant wait to see it cut to size and installed.

Donations

We will be back next week for the 4' x 8' wood-panelled panels, lumber (from an old water tower) for the staircase threads, open shelves and window seat. There was also a surfer dude buying the same (it's been drying for 100 years!) to make surfboards - how cool is that!
