I had been wanting a Kitchen Aid mixer for a good year, but I couldn't
afford to spend a lot on one. I had been checking craiglist, but they
were still over $100. I have a few things that I make that would
really be nice to have a good mixer, but I wasn't ready to spend that
much yet.

Then, about 2 years ago, I was looking for used cabinets. Our plumbing
had backed up, and the limited cabinets were ruined. So, I was
searching the craigslist ads to find some free or cheap cabinets that
I could use to set up a new kitchenette. It took a few months, but I
got a response to one of my wanted ads. A nice complete set of oak
cabinets that look awesome. The only downside was that the old counter
top had to be destroyed during the removal process. But I found a
couple free counter tops a couple weeks later that worked perfectly.
So, I have 10 feet of lower cabinets and 10 feet of upper cabinets.

She had me come out to her house before they were removed to make sure
that I liked them. The lower cabinets have pull out wire drawers. She
also gave me her over the oven microwave. I gave my old one to my
nephew, as this one is larger and nicer than mine was. I was so happy
when I went to see them that I took her some of my salmon dip. We
talked about it a little, and I said the only hard part is the mixing
as I do it by hand.

A couple weeks later, when the cabinets were ready to go, I went to
pick them up. Apparently, she upgraded her Kitchen Aid mixer too, as
she gave me her old one. For free!

I was already so happy with the cabinets, and this was awesome. It is
a 4 1/2 quart model, with the metal bowl, and 3 attachments.

My son manages an apartment building and when one tenant moved she gave
him a like new kitchen aid mixer and a bakers rack....people are always
leaving things behind and he has to dispose of them whether they are useful
or junk. He does well in some instances......Sharon
