Who knew glue could be so expensive? Apparently a five-gallon bucket can cost upwards of $200. To make things worse, we need seven to eight buckets for our hardwood floors.
We decided to glue down our floors instead of floating them. The floors will have a more substantial feeling while walking across them.
Always looking for a great deal, BF found the buckets off Craigslist. Ironically the seller recently purchased the same house we really wanted to buy back in May 2011. Small world.
While describing the buckets over the phone, the seller made a mistake by telling BF, "I just want them out of my garage." To quote Dave Ramsey, "There goes your walk-away power." The seller and his wife were so desperate to get rid of these buckets, they sold them to BF for $40 bucks each.
Hmmm...$200 vs $40. I think BF deserves a high-five.
