Title: HFH ReStore Post by: dewdrop_me_a_line on June 13, 2009, 04:34:56 PM The only Restore in our area was in Portland OR. In May they opened one in Vancouver WA. Yay!
A very dear friend went with me (he knows what he's doing.) We bought doors to replace all the hollow core doors that were in my 1969 (and then some horrible makeovers) ranch. The Big Box stores wanted a lot more than $10 bucks each. Plus it was special order just to get the door. They only had ones with jams in stock. This very special guy also made all my electrical dreams come true. It's not thrift, but I'll brag . . . He found a special order door with a privacy glass panel that the customer had refused (at the BB store). It was 1/4 the price of the special order. This is amazing! Our ReStore is better than the one in PDX . . . bigger, carries furniture and has another operation that recycles electronics! Fascinating and all for the good of peoplekind. ;) dew Title: Re: HFH ReStore Post by: Good Buddy on June 13, 2009, 04:42:06 PM I LOVE H4H ReStores!

Title: Re: HFH ReStore Post by: dewdrop_me_a_line on June 23, 2009, 03:23:01 PM ReStore is a recycling center for used building materials. All the profits go to Habitat for Humanity. Guess some stores are better than others. I'm loving mine!
