I like going to Restores. IIRC they started as donated building supplies to use in HFH houses and ended up with a lot of stuff that either couldn't be used in the new houses or that was just extra so they started selling the excess. I think some still goes to the house projects. The rest is sold to help fund HFH. I bought some very nice antique beadboard from the one in Olympia. I do a lot of my woodworking using reclaimed lumber. They're an excellent source for that. I've also bought several old tools and other misc. hardware from the ones in my area. I've only recently become interested in old sewing machines and sewing. One more thing I can look for when I go.
