Well, I had a comment but it wasn't that.

I've been watching the laminate flooring at the local recyclers (BRING), figuring I needed three 20SQ FT bundles at $55-65. Today they had a pallet of loose 4FT pieces, 108 or more, for $75.

I'd purchased a nice campaign table and got the last punch on a bonus card, so I was right back with more cash. With the $50 bonus and a Veteran's discount on the remainder, I was out-of-pocket $17.50 for something that that would have been $200 or more if I'd been impatient.

Plus which, I got twice as much as I wanted so I can do the whole floor. The underlayment to bring the front half up 3/4" will cost more than the flooring.

Happy for me?
