I have been looking for storage cabinets since we moved into the new house at the end of June (hampered by a lack of internet until a few days ago, the process didn’t get very far for a couple of weeks).  I’ve been combing Craig’s List and Freecycle to no avail – everything was too expensive or so cheap and worn that it wouldn’t have lasted long anyway.

So last night Jordana and I turned a corner in our neighborhood and saw 3 guys struggling with a BEAST of a wardrobe.  I made a comment about how huge it was and one of them laughed and said I could have it.  Turns out a very cool family is moving to the midwest today and the people who were supposed to buy it flaked.  It’s a bummer they won’t be in the neighborhood anymore, but I did get a really nice hardwood wardrobe for $100.  They would have given it to us but after my firsthand experience of the expense of a cross country move, I felt guilty not giving them anything.  Plus, Matt says it’s good karma.

A shoutout to the Diehl men for helping drag the monstrosity around the corner and through our very narrow doorway (the door had to come off its hinges in the end).
