Still working on the bathrooms, one is almost done and they started on the 2nd one today.  While shopping for supplies this afternoon, I noticed a flyer at Lowe's offering incentive for kitchen and bath purchases through 4/27/08.  For every $1,000 you spend at Lowe's on your kitchen or bath project, you'll earn a $100 Lowe's gift card.  All you have to do it register at www.LowesKitchenandBath.com and they will track your purchases between now and 4/27/08. So if anyone else is planning a bathroom or kitchen renovation, keep in mind that it is very easy to spend $1000 on basic supplies.  It's nice to know you can get $100 back from this store.   And if you don't want to go to their North Bergen store, there is also a new Lowe's which opened recently on Route 17 (near Rutherford) which has a wide selection of items as well as a very helpful & informative sales staff.  I have become somewhat of a regular these days at both Home Depot and Lowe's, and one of the most important lessons I've learned during this ongoing renovation  is that finding a smart salesperson will save you a tremendous amount of time and effort through out the process (this theory applies to realtors too).  And as a realtor, I've picked up a lot of useful information as well as new resources that I will be able to share with my clients.
