$$$$$ You are the high Bidder ! Auction Ottawa.. A New Kitchen !
Unbelieveable, I was there upping my bid for the kitchen to the very last second. I had 2 computers going, refreshing the screen every 5 seconds watching price changes, and upping the bid when necessary. We managed to get a $15,000 kitchen for $8,563..... When you are trying everything to try and save a buck why not bid on a kitchen I always say... Well I was/am one of three lucky souls who won on the bid. We just finished visiting the place today (Where they do the design) and was fortunate enough to have a kitchen designer (Vice President) who is just finishing his interior decorating certification. It seems like this place is different from all the rest, and they literally just listen to your likes and dislikes and disappear for a few days to come up with a 1st class design.(Time will Tell). Their name is Triple AAA Kitchens and Bath, 3000 Conroy Road, Ottawa Ontario. A Real 1st class place....Thay also deliver and install in Quebec...
Windows and Doors
Well just rec'd a price update from the latest Windows and Door place , their name is "Portes et Fenetres" ...on 81 Don Quichotte in Ille Perrot, (I pronounce it Don Keyshot, and mom pronounces it Don Key hoo tee. I wonder who is pronouncing it properly... chuckle.....). Looks like we managed to save a few K by getting windows they call casement...Thay have no sashes...What ever that is....In the beginning when money grew on trees we had asked for a quote for the old cottage and rec'd a price of $32,000 buckaroos. We have now negotiated for double pane argon filled PVC windows with triple locks for under 15K.....Wow....Excellent owner, his name is Alain Lapointe.
Cement
Well it looks like I have done well on this negotiating thing so why not keep it up. Today I started looking for Deals on CEMENT. Yup, thats right, that stuff they use to put on peoples feet in the Sopranos (Season 5 starts tomorrow). Well it just so happens that at the last company I worked for Nuvo, one of their customers was a company called Lafarge. GUESS what they sell ?
CEMENT, and alot of it....They, I believe, are the largest Cement dealer in Canada...... I just dropped a line to one of my Nuvo buddies (Jacques Latour), a brilliant Network Managment Architect (VP), to see if I can find a contact to get a discount...Lets see how this one develops.....
