Day 98 - Hardware for Houses

In the parking lot of Loew's of South Kansas City, the retail chain that has anything and everything to build or improve a home, there is a ReStore truck waiting to be stuffed on the weekends.  ReStore is the clearinghouse for new and used building materials for Habitat for Humanity, the international organization that builds the future. Items can be brought to the ReStore main warehouse or to any of their mobile collection trucks around town. Everything from nails to windows is collected - lumber, plywood, doors, toilets, sinks, tools, saws, drills, or in my case, a box of door handles and knobs, etc.   With Habitat you can volunteer as a novice or skip a day or 2 of work as a professional and help build a house from the foundation up.
