My first frugal friday post!! How exciting!! Thanks for taking the time to visit my little place on the web...This is a picture of my ceiling fan that my dad installed for me yesterday and I helped!(like shake n bake without the promise of good food to eat later!!)
Since Sunday just happens to be father's day I thought I would share with you a project with a dad theme to it...I should've took pictures of my dad in the process of putting it up.
How I acquired it is like this...My mom and dad were in the process of packing up all their stuff in Florida and moving it to Arkansas to live with family here. My dad was talking about how he didn't know what they would do with some of the stuff they had in their house...I batted my big brown eyes and said..."Do you have any ceiling fans? I need one for my dining room!" He told me that he could get me one....
Fast forward to yesterday...my dad calls me and says he's in town(the rest of the family lives out in the country...I live "in town" because I am close to the stores and stuff...it's a small town) and asks if I would be okay with him coming over and installing the fan(which I had completely forgotten about) I told him to come on over...but ignore the piles of piles...and he did...he said that it doesn't matter to him how the house looks...which made me feel good...I helped him install the fan(like 10%) and he left with toolbox in hand.
My Frugal Friday tip is this: Ask around if you have a need. Someone is bound to have it or can point you in the direction of someone who does.
I can't tell you how many things that I have gotten just because I asked...a fridge, a bath bench(when hubby was in the accident), potty seat(accident) and the list goes on and on....
