Awake: 6:15am Temp 68 sleep 6+39 partly cloudy overnight @ Nicktown.
After our KK meeting, K & I exercised for (30) min; then after our breakfast, we motored to Somerset, PA to look @ a building that had a brick called, Chatham which Kathy thought she might like for the house. After seeing the brick on a building she was not as enthused about it.
Next, we spent a good (1.5) hrs in Lowe's Home Improvement...
looking @ windows & doors. Roy was very thorough in his salesmanship. We learned quite a bit from his (21) years of selling Pella's products & he even printed out a few sample window prices that might make our choosing a little easer.
From here, we retraced our steps & did some grocery shopping @ Conzattis Italian Market & Wal-Mart in upper Johnstown.
Continuing our way to Nicktown, we sought out a house in New Germany that has a brick color & style that both K & I like, #715 Ashmont Modular & wanted to see a finished house with that brick on it. I think we still like it.
Next, we visited a store in Ebensburg "BCI" Flooring. Bruce showed us several samples of the bamboo flooring which we continue to admire...maybe for our main floor covering.
Then we made a stop @ "The Long Barn" in Ebensburg & spent some time looking @ their Cabinets, Windows & doors.
and shingles
After that workout, we both agreed that a beer & a tuna salad @ "Off theRack" would be great...which it was.
Then I called my brother, Don, who lives in Ebensburg & asked if it would be OK for us to pay a short visit since we are in town. "Yes", he said; "but @ 8:00pm, we have to go to Johnstown...so we can only spend an hr with you".
I wanted to pick up some of our mother's old photo albums. I thought it was strange that my brother & his wife had to go to a meeting in Johnstown so late but I didn't ask any questions. It was a long day for us but well worth the traveling.
Lights out: 12:04am.
