Butch went to the lumberyard a few weeks ago and was scoping out pavers for our little patio and they had a couple of pallets full. When we were there again for something else Butch noticed they were way down and suggested if we were going to buy them we better do it, so we did. We bought 63 and that was all they had. They warned us that the company making this particular paver went out of business and there would never be more of them. We were not concerned because I am not of the fussy sort and had decided if we needed more we would take whatever they had and work out some kind of design. And then we hired the job done and Russ and Tyson suggested a different way of doing things and we needed 25 more pavers. No problem. We would buy more. Butch went to the lumberyard and there were no pavers at all!
But wait!!!
The people who had bought the first batch needed some and had come to buy more and there were none there because we had bought them all. So being fussier than we are they were returning what they had purchased! That allowed us to get all we needed and more. As luck would have it!!
So lesson learned? If you go with the flow, keep calm and carry on, don't sweat the small stuff etc., things work out!
