Building and renovating a home can be shockingly expensive. While individual items may not seem too expensive, every little doorknob, cabinet hinge, and floor tile add up to one costly and time-consuming project. It’s tempting to want to save money however you can on your building renovation, but how can you cut costs without cutting corners? One solution is to shop at local secondhand stores, such as a Habitat for Humanity ReStore, where you can donate and purchase gently used building materials, lumber, cabinets, doors, windows, and more. While it can take a little more time to find what you need, secondhand shops often have better quality materials at a better price than new retail stores, and you’ll find items that are more special to you and your home.

The museum has asked the city for another $18 million.

Work is already well underway on the renovation of the Glenbow Museum, which will see it revamped with an entirely new look and modern features inside and out.
