>> OK, so I was in Lowes today returning a carpet stretcher (found almost

>> same one at Horrible Freight for half the price.)
>>
>> ANYWAY, I got to looking at the tool cabinets. Their 'top of the line'
>> 18
>> draw 53" model was right there. $1899, NO WAY.
>>
>> So my, always wise, SO (who is doing much better- thanks for the support)
>> told me to ask the guy if there were any ones with dents in it on
>> clearance.
>>
>> He shows me one about 1/2 the size for about $930. I'm not interested.
>> So

>> electrical boxes and stereo system) and he asked me what I wanted to pay
>> for it.
>>
>> I told him, as little as possible. He asks me if a 20% discount would be
>> enough. I tell him only if I can get my Veteran's discount and use my

>>
>> Now, I'm still in the market for cabinets, but not nearly as urgent.
>> (thanks for all the links.)
>>
>> One last question, is there a 'logical' way to organize a big chest like

>> THANKS AGAIN GUYS!
