The landfill is a little less full because you took the time to refurbish instead of scrapping it. This is a GREAT thing! :)Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986908754687987997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-511932079074193335.post-12498133971372577482011-04-26T00:33:07.823-04:002011-04-26T00:33:07.823-04:00Good job on the grill.

Funny you mentioned about the stainless steel. We were just talking to the manager of a local lumber yard who used to sell grills, and people complained that his grills were more expensive . . . he explained to us that the grills at the big box stores are not equal to what he was selling and they were the same name brands. We also found that to be true when we were looking for lawn tractors! It's crazy out there. Happy to hear you could fix it for a reasonable amount of money, it's such a nice looking grill!Ocean Breezes and Country Sneezeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553409790617039932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-511932079074193335.post-61814768601173734952011-04-25T21:39:37.609-04:002011-04-25T21:39:37.609-04:00I am almost afraid to open my grill this year for ...I am almost afraid to open my grill this year for fear of what critter may have moved in for the winter.

Sending care and huggles to you and your lovely Bev,<br /><br />Michelle and a sleeping (hooray!)
