Do you need to make repairs on your home that you simply cannot afford? I remember as a
single mother so many things that I left in disrepair due to the fact that I simply could not afford to fix them. There are two great places you can turn to right now to get you on your way to inexpensively remodeling, repairing, and redecorating your abode. The first place I would venture to is
http://www.craigslist.com/. If you have not been to this site you have truly missed out. Not only can you get items that you want and need deeply discounted, you can also find amazing things for free. Just last week I was showing a young man this site, and low and behold someone was giving away a entire double-wide for free. The kitchen had fire damage, but other than that this was a pretty decent looking home. The recipient had to remove it from the site within seven days. This was well worth it for someone who needed a home. That is not the first time that I have seen a home on there for free. You will find junk on there too, but alot of people want to keep things out of the landfill and will post items for that purpose. I have found another place in the last 2 weeks that I have fell in love with, the Habitat Restore. Habitat ReStores accepts donated
building materials, appliances, and
furniture and resales them for a fraction of the cost. Some Metro ReStores offer coupons and some have pickup services for donated goods. You can go to
www.habitat.org/env/restores.aspx to find a location near you. There are approximately 600 stores located throughout the US and
Canada. Go check one out today and check back often to find what you are looking for. All proceeds benefit
Habitat for Humanity.
