Where did you find the most affordable place for

9 years ago

Interior door hardware? Exterior entry door handle/ dead bolts and interior passage/privacy door knobs/levers? We found some on amazon that are reasonable prices but it still totals $700. Yikes! We are on a tight budget.

If you found the manufacturer, make, and model you like, I would just search the web for the best price. Use Google, then check out the big box store sites like Home Depot, Lowes, and Menards. Menards often has a sale where you can get 11% back in the form of a store credit. Door hardware adds up depending on how many exterior and interior doors you have. That price seems pretty reasonable unless you only have a few doors. While you don't necessarily need all brass hardware, good quality door hardware is worth the price (personally not an area of the build I would skimp on).

We have a Habitat for Humanity Re-Store - where excess builder inventory gets donated and can be purchased by the public - sometimes there are some really nice / more commercial hardware for sale. I've also had good experience with folks like Build.com

most affordable 36 inch range?
Q

Well, the Frigidaire is certainly "more affordable", but it's, well, a Frigidaire and pretty crappy. Look at Bertazzoni if you value looks. If you value performance, look at NXR, Capital, or Blue Star. Those will actually give you the ability to sear your stir fry. But, ALL of these will need an upgraded ventilation system, and that upgraded ventilation system may possibly need make-up air in your location. You're not picking something in isolation here. It's all chosen to work together.

How did you find this place ?

I don't post much anymore. But I do lurk. I came to GW back in 1997/8. I was heavily into roses and found GardenWeb searching for info. After roses, I looked around and found the Garden Party. Lots of fun people there. We would be partnered up and did gift exchanges. I still have the 3 bird and flower plates displayed on my hall wall from one of the gift exchanges from my partner. I lady from Ohio. Sorry can't remember her name. I also remember the Beer Garden. You could cut loose there. It was fun. But it got out of hand and the forum was closed down. I remember Spike too. Not the best of people. He had his favorites they could do no wrong. He was petty also. Though I was never sent to Disney, many I knew were. He was rude and mean in the emails he sent to people. He even had a alter ego and would post on the forums as a different person. I never paid to be on the forums. I do remember the lady here that faked her death just to get money. She was something. Along with a few others that thought of themselves and their bf/husbands more then their children and were told so. So they left after a while. You have to take the bad with the good I guess. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Where is a good and affordable place to order bulbs online?
Q

I'm so glad to hear you cancelled that order with Michigan Bulb Company. The large bulb producers in Holland run the Tulips and daffodils through different sized screens to save the large healthy bulbs. Michigan Bulb Company purchases the tiny rejects which fall through the screens. You would be greatly disappointed in the junk they would send you. I too recommend Van Bourgondien, or Brecks. Brecks has a seperate landscapers catalog selling in bulk at great prices if you need something like 300 bulbs of one variety. Good luck with your gardens.

Where to find good and affordable art?!
Q

It’s too late to cancel the art I purchased on amazon. I did find few interesting pieces on etsy though, thank you Beth for sending me those links! I’ll see if I don’t like the art from amazon, I’ll perhaps return it. This is how it should look like, I’m digging it, it also matches the couch pillows and compliments blue teal rug😁 but it might look different when it comes.

I second Build.com. Or shop local. I was surprised how low our building supply store could go after I dropped our GC's name!

Watch for sales and price match!!!

I bought all my interior door handles in oil rubbed bronze at Rona. They were around $30 regular on a 2 day sale for $11.99. I bought 12 or 13 sets. I haven't seen them for that price since but have seen them for $12.99.

My front door/lock set I spent more on because it's all about curb appeal. It was the Weiser Ashfield set. I think it was around $219 plus tax.

I purchased my Weiser Keyless entry for my mudroom (in from the garage) on sale for around $60.

For the same door and my back garage door, I found handles on clearance at Rona. $24.99 with 20% off.

In total I probably spent about $400. It also all depends on the style you want. Obviously nicer or more intricate styles are going to be more expensive as well as colour. Good ole chrome or brushed nickel is always cheaper than oil rubbed bronze, black etc. In the end, I only ever looked at Home Depot, Lowes, Home Hardware and Rona (yes I'm from Canada too!) They are all pretty much the same price everywhere.
