Re-Store Resolve

With the day off after 3 long ones, I visited the Re-Store for the first time (after having biked past there so many times! Yep). They currently have a wheelbarrow for $30, which I may purchase, it's just a matter of getting up the hill to North Beach. I was overwhelmed by the amount of material, like I would be in any hardware store, but the people are so nice. I have until March 10 to design the bike cart and make a supply list, for the chicken coop too... Because there are these workshops coming up:

Awesome! I've wanted to attend a free school workshop since they first started organizing themselves upstairs in Cafe Allegro. I can't believe how long it takes me to organize myself. I'm about to bike over to Portage Bay Grange  to say hello.
