Well, That Was Expensive

Home and Renovation

Every so often during this (very slow) kitchen renovation, I run across something that (to me) seems very common; then I realize upon then trying to purchase it, it’s not.

Evidently these iron-and-slats kitchen drying racks on pulleys are one of those things. They’re easily bought in Great Britain, but not so much here. I guess we prefer the standing XWing kind.

Ninety bucks. Forty of that was shipping from the UK and having to import the wooden rails as well because the standard sizes of lumber are not the same in both countries.

Ah, well. I’m happy I found one.

O

All this aside, I don’t feel quite well today, and it’s a bit chilly. It’s not even cold yet, and the notification emails I receive alerting me to homes for sale in Saint Augustine are already tempting — even if the house is really not that great, needs some work, and is way too small.

    O i really dig those hanging slats! iron, heavy as it is, seems reasonable that the shipping might be costly. i think it would lovely if you lived in St Augustine!!! ❤ karenadair

      I was thinking I should’ve added to the end — “and then I can see my friend Karen whenever I want!” I go back-and-forth between wanting a modest mid-century with a pool in Saint Augustine and a huge Victorian in central New York with land. At least I’m open minded, I suppose. LOL
