Last week we had a very good Saturday. We got up and started looking for garage sales like most of our Saturdays now. For the past couple of months we have been trying to decide if I should build the crib still or should we just buy it. The cost of the lumber was going to be about $500 and a new crib runs about $400 but, we found one garage sale that had some ruff cut lumber. we went and took a look to find out how much they were charging and we were pleasantly surprised. The man had a son-in-law that works in the logging industry in Iowa and He gets good deals through him. This man had too much lumber so he was getting rid of it. I told him what we were going to use the lumber for and it seemed like he wanted to help us so he gave us some Walnut and Ash for $1 per board foot. The walnut runs about $8.50 and the Ash runs $4.50 pbf at a outlet. Yeah so we got all of the lumber to make the crib for $36. I thought that was a good deal.
After we got the lumber in the car we went over to Sam's Club to eat I think and I thought that I would look at the clearance section just to see what was there and I found what I had been looking for for the longest time. I have been wanting this specific big screen plasma TV forever and it was on the clearance
rack, so I look at the price and find that it is about 55% off. Fortunately for me I just collected hail damage on my car for the second time in a year and that check would take care of my new TV and we would still have a few hundred left to save, so Leah said that I could get it and that day turn in to a awesome day.
P.s. To all the guys out there that like the office I know I am leaving my self open for a very funny comment with my title, so hit it out of the park.

We don't even watch the office and I still wanted to make a joke about your title. At least it wasn't "I got wood".
