The Home Despot takes a turn for the worse.
|
| |
I'm in HD's home town and have watched them for quite some time. I've noticed that HD is going through a new phase. They had been going through one of being more friendly but not any better otherwise. Now they seem indifferent, event resentful of taking time out to help customers. Department Managers would rather not be bothered, no one... more »

finishing a north-facing garage door
|
| |
I've really learned a lot about wood finishes lately, in particular in restoring them. I thank all for comments. Sometimes I don't show the proper respect of following up until an issue is resolved, but I'll ask for your forgiveness in that I've never been in a usenet forum with this much traffic, and my newsreading is sporadic due to having work (Yay!).... more »

Bad tires---front or back
|
| |
Where should you put your worst tires? I say put them on the front. If you have a tire problem you can control a skid best if the problem is with the tire on the front. If the problem is on the rear the skid will be a lot harder to control. What do ya`ll think?

New Homeowner Woes - But they get a new kitchen!
|
| |
A young couple recently bought the house across the street from me. It's a 1940-ish colonial. They moved back from another state and were living with Mom while they did some work on the house. They removed some old (cheap) built-ins, they painted, they carpeted, etc. One thing they hired out was the replacement of the upstairs bathroom... more »
