Patio Renovations


We bought a Gazebo yesterday for our patio!! We really just started physically shopping for them yesterday and were starting to realize that we were going to have to spend about $300-$400. Most of them are sold as 10x10 but we really wanted a larger one, about 10x12, which would mean more money. We looked at a few places, trying to find the right one since we were going to be spending a good amount for one... Home Depot, Lowe's and Do-It Center. We found one we liked at Home Depot that was 10x12 for $399, but they didn't have it in stock. Lowe's had one 10x12 in stock for $499 and we had a 10% coupon plus a $25 off $250 coupon. Still, even with that, Home Depot was cheaper and we liked Home Depot's just a little bit more. We decided to go home, think on it, and maybe check the internet... maybe even look on Craigs List. Before we headed home, we decided to check out Do-It Center (yet again, since we've looked there before)... although we hadn't looked at this particular Center. Walked in, looked around... nothing... only cheapie one's. Soooo, we walked to the car, loaded Macy in and I glanced over at Big Lots and saw a cheapie gazebo in the front door. I was like "Hey, Clay... maybe we should just walk through Big Lots really quick." Macy was already in her car seat, so I sent Clay in for a quick peek. You wouldn't believe it, but he found the best-so-far gazebo, 10x12 for only $250!! So exciting!! And who would've thought Big Lots!!
