Ummmm......How can it possibly be time for $30 Thursday again? I'm not sure I can really answer that question, and, frankly, I'm just glad I have a project ready to go this month! I saw this old window grate, {well actually, I saw two of these old window grates} hanging up in my parents' storage garage about a month ago.
