Chuck’s Surplus

We were at the Habitat for Humanity Re-​Store on South University, looking for flooring, and a friendly passerby said we should also try Chuck’s. Re-Store’s selection of flooring was limited at best, so we’d already mapped our path back to Home Depot, but decided to check out Chuck’s first–
Man oh man! This is the spot when you need a big project done and you need to do it quick, on a budget.
It’s a housing supply surplus store. They don’t have a super broad selection, but *tons* of what they do have, and the prices are a steal if you can be flexible about color/​style/​shape etc. They’re especially good for tile, flooring, vanities, sinks. In general, it’s not a broad selection, but there are some solid finds.
On the downside, it is way off the beaten path (possibly hard to find), and quite frankly, looks a little scary from the outside. Still, if it’s what you’re looking for, it’s magical to find a warehouse like this!
This is a raw, unpolished, construction materials store, so it is dusty, dirty, a little disorganized. You have to know what you’re looking for, and how to use it. So if you go looking for it, be prepared for that :)
