File Cabinet Refurb

OK, I'm not going to fuss and whine about the current forecast of 4-8" of snow tonight.......

We needed an extra file cabinet at Asheboro.  But I really hate the cheap one I got years ago at Staples.  It's just too flimsy.  So, I stopped by our local Habitat Re-Store, hoping that they'd have a good quality cabinet.

Sure enough, they had one - the drawers slide nicely and it's got a lot of weight so it stays put!

 And the price was right!!    $12.05 for some reason.

I don't need a lock, so no worries there.

The top was rusty - so Duane sanded all that off.

And there was some duct tape on the front that came off with some denatured alcohol.

Duane used contact cement to glue some long-ago leftover laminate to the top.....then he used his router to trim it nice and neatly!

And there it is!  Already in use!  A Scout-Mom is frugal!
