Where to get cheap, great windows
Where can you get 3 large kick-butt double-hung windows for under $600? At a Habitat for Humanity ReStore, where they sell great used building supplies at a fraction of their worth.
You can find a ReStore near you by looking in the Yellow Pages under 'Building Materials - Used'. If you're in the Toronto area, check out both ReStores and load up on paint, fixtures, tiles, tubs, toilets, appliances and entire kitchen cabinet systems. If the ReStore doesn't have what you're looking for, you can put your name on a list and they'll call you when they get an item that matches your description.
And if you happen to be renovating and pulling out old windows, doors, panelling, sinks, bathtubs, cabinets or doors, call your local ReStore and ask them to pick up your recyclable stuff. They'll take it away for you, sell it in the ReStore, and use the proceeds to help eliminate poverty housing. How cool is that?
