[Greenbuilding] Cabinetry

[Sabrina Free]

Hi Tracy,
Not sure if you are interested in "pre-owned" but if you are:
Most Habitat for Humanity branches in larger metropolitan areas have a
"Re-store".  The one near me has had complete, less than a year old, 50K
kitchens donated when somebody buys a new house and doesn't like the
existing kitchen.  (IMHO - way too much money wasted there.)   They usually
are up for bid and I have never seen one go for more than 2K.  Pretty cheap
for a 50K kitchen.

Additionally,

Not to justify what I am complaining about above, but my daughter is going
to be pulling some high-end WoodMode cabinets out of her house.  (Not too
much money but bad kitchen lay-out, I guess)  They are 70's model but with
work could be fine?  She is in upstate NY.  It might be a few months, but
let me know if interested.
