I went to Home Depot and asked a few questions and got some answers but then the guy did not know how it was to be used. Its kind of scary how they have people that really have never done the work or seen it done.

I can understand the whiskey; but no firearms? That seems to be an essential part of farm life.

Better than Home Depot?
A root canal is better than home depot /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
I'm still of the opinion they FORGOT one letter when they incorperated. It SHOULD be Home Despot.

Hmmm, Home Depot not impressed at all, pitiful, sorry, useless = all terms I can think of when asked about home depot....
Where I live there are three Home Depot stores with in driving distance , The newest and closest one just opened this spring didn't have what I was looking for (pre-emergent) Ok ask about it "Ahh we don't carry that anymore" drove to second store "Ahh haven't gotten shipment yet" (this was April) forget it... Go to Lesco store and get it just a little more $....
Next project needed lumber, none available on the rack but I saw some up higher still bundled, Sooo I get a clerk who gets the yoot (youth) who is responsible for this isle and I greet him with a "how ya doin" I get in response "Waasup" /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
I tell him waasup I want some stinkin' lumber and you need to get it down to the shelf .... He comes back with the fork lift and another yoot ,sooo now there are to yoot's and a GRUMP (me /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif) First yoot makes no less than 15 attempts at lining up to the hack to pick it up ,meanwhile his partner is standing there doin the moonwalk or sumthin?? Trying to guide him /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif I'm at the end of the isle hidding around the corner trying not to look because my neck hurts from shaking my head.... The guy finally gets under the hack and starts to lift WHOOAA!! YOUR UNDER THE RACK SUPPORT /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif... Man somebody's gonna get hurt here!!
They finally get the lopsided pile down to the lower bin cut the bands and leave... "THATS OK FELLAS I'LL LOAD IT MYSELF" as they go to take a break /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif UNBELIEVEABLE!!!
I soon found out this store has had THREE managers in the six months it has been open.....
OK I feel better now /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I was in a California orange store when the cousins or relatives of those same yoots were trying to get a pallet of gallon cans of paint down from the top shelf with a fork lift. Guess what?..........It took several days to get the mess cleaned up. If you are in the orange store and you hear the sound of a fork lift, head for the nearest exit or Lowe's if you value your life. (you may even want to think twice about Lowe's because once in a while one of the relatives get lost and show up there as well)
