Back alley score.
« on: October 03, 2016, 08:46:36 am »
Stopped at our local grocer's, Jane wanted to run in and pick something up. I told her I would walk over to the post office to check the mail. As I walked behind a local restaurant, the Naked Crepe, I saw a SS table out back all loaded with stuff. I got to thinking as I went into the post office that I would stop and ask what was up with the table. I knocked on the kitchen door and asked the owner what they were going to do with the table? They said they were putting it into storage as they didn't have a use for it. I told them I could use it and would they be interested in selling it? $70 later and it is sitting in my yard waiting to go out to the honey house. I will clean it up and already leveled the table top and the shelf which was way out of whack. I already have a 30" x 30" which is great, but this one is 7' long.

WoW!  As usual, Perry's eagle eyes spot the right item.  I don't know anyone else who has that gift of finding what he needs in good used condition...At bargain prices no less.  Great find Perry.    :yes:

It was, how you say in the cards. Just like the honey house. No one said it would be THAT easy though. ;D

Great find at a very good price, Perry!  That prep table will last you forever.  I love stainless.  It's so easy to care for.
