Dang, last fill up of our LP tank cost me about $4 a gallon (Sept), what the heck?

We have a couple suppliers here, but they are all owned by the same company and charge the same price.

Lori and I hit some of the local antique and second hand shops over the weekend and picked up a couple of items. First are Chromcraft (been in business since '62 and just went out of business [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] ) chairs from late 60s early 70s with classic &quot;Avocado&quot; green vinyl seats - they appear to have been barely used. The cabinet is a Niehoff ignition parts cabinet that needs just a bit of cleaning up - no frame off resto though! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

What a great find those seats are amazing. Iv been looking for vintage cabinets like that for some time now just for decorating the man cave there out there but people want a small fortune for them. Great finds

Mike - Vintage cabinets are crazy expensive these days even when they look like my newest acquisition [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]. They are a hot ticket so you will have to poke around to find a decent deal. They are almost akin to the vintage signs regarding price. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cry.gif[/img]
