I still have to get more pictures off of the wife's computer showing the completed stuco job, and how the place looks now, but I will move them over here soon. One of the nicest features of our new kitchen was the included "Soft closers" on all of the drawers and cabinet doors. A must have once you see how they work. No more kids slamming drawers or doors. The range is one of those new glass top stoves that clean up easily with a built in convection style forced air oven. The micorwave is one of those convection micros that allows you to brown food as it is heated inside and out. The 3/4hp disposal is a double encased stainless steel unit that is nearly silent compared to the usual models, and came with a five year Manufacturers warranty. Plus it was an inventory close out item marked down 45% ($200 down to $110).
Here is why I shop at The Home Depot. The first noted benefit was that I received a special 10% discount on every item purchased for being a US millitary retired VET. Way to go Home Depot. The fridge and dishwasher were some of the best that Home Depot had to offer at the time, and all of these appliances were GE models on sale (reduced 20-30%) because of some special manufacturers discount program, plus there was a 10% sale on all of their appliances that were rated with some kind of 5 star efficiancy rating(state sponsered), and we got another 10% off of everything we purchased during that month for using a new Home Depot credit card for the purchases. We saved a ton of money because of their wonderful sales and policies. All totaled we received these appliances for less than half of the sticker price or MSRP listed on these particular items. Some or most of them were at a 60%-70% deep discount. Even the cashier was amazed at how little we had to pay for them. Just to give you an idea the fridge/freezer was listed at over $1500, but we got it for just under $650. We were able to purchase nearly $4000 worth of kitchen appliances for less than $1800 after taxes. Can't beat that with a stick. To top that off we purchased all of the kitchen cabinets and solid granite countertops under one of their special discounted programs for supporting the military/VETs which took 10%-15% off the top, and with the added credit card discount we saved nearly 30% on those as well. Home Depot is just awsome
