Trip to the hardware store: Is this what they call a haul?

November 19, 2012~ DIY, ostlemine, sildita

Our cat likes to use a door-frame as a scratching post and since bad habits die hard, even the dog  (who likes to start barking at him as soon as he starts scratching) can’t stop the mischievous kitty from going at it. The door case is looking pretty torn so me and H decided to give it a makeover and cover it with a sisal carpet so the kitty can scratch all he likes.
Where did we need to go to get the materials needed? The hardware store – my favorite place on Earth!
Ended up spending a ton of money (not much of a surprise) on very important things. I was going to buy glue sticks for the glue gun we have now, but buying two tiny boxes of glue sticks in a smaller size would’ve cost more than buying an entirely new (more awesome!) glue gun (10€) and a huge box of glue sticks (12€). I also got some questionable quality brushes for ca. 0.50€ a piece – a bargain, if you ask me. 🙂

What else did I need? Mod podge. Do they sell mod podge in Estonia? Hells no! I figured PVA-glue would do the trick, we’ll see about that once I get started with making Christmas decor. I bought the 0,75l bottle for 4.50€, only to find it cost four times less in another hardware store we went to. Bummer.

And then there’s the nice little (and affordable, 0.80€) box I bought for storing all the beads and charms I use for making jewelry (arm candy, to be more precise). The beads always end up anywhere else but the minigrips I (try to) store them in…

    Bauhofis on ilmselt paljud asjad kallimad kui mujal 😛 aga me kihlatuga proovime ehituspoodides shopata alati siis, kui kogu kaup on -20% odavam või mõne muu soodustusega. no need nii-öelda nädalalõpusoodukad! nii annab päris palju säästa kokkuvõttes, eriti remondi puhul ehk siis see meie variant, kui on päris palju kraami vaja soetada.
    aga jah, liimipüstol kõlab päris hästi! peaks järgmisel korral ehituspoes olles seda uurima 😛
