If someone had a random shopping list (for tools, supplies, etc..) would you advise them to go to Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, or a mom-n-pop hardware store?
Yes I would, Home Depot does not stock everything but neither does anyone else. What they don't have in stock you can either order online or through the store, it can be a one stop shop.Retail stores these days focus on what sells and are not willing to put an item that consumes valuable space for a product that may sell a few a year. It is the main reason why Amazon is kind of a default place to goth get everything, a lot of people want to touch and feel so they desire product to be in stock. With this in mind you can order online pick up in store and if the product comes in , customer goes to store and if there is anything you don't like about the product, even if it is the colour you can turn product back to them and get 100% of your money back no questions asked. No one else offers this or anything like it. This plan also removes much of the doubt about ordering for the touchy freely types.

Why does Home Depot stock plummet after a hurricane?
If it “plummets” it's not for long. The stock is sitting at 190–192. It peaked around 220 this year right before the beginning of October. When I started with them in 2004 it was at 19. But of course that was before Katrina, and Rita, Irma, Wilma, Hugo, Ike, Sandy, Harvey, Maria, all those storms later and HD is worth 10 times as much. I guess you can call it a plummet since it's no longer cresting over 220.Home improvement retailer stocks don't appear to be struggling. Anyone who has pulled funds post hurricane is either trying to short-trend it only to pick it up later. Or isnt able to think long term.If any stores lose the ability to stay open after a storm due to damage, potentially they're losing during this time of year 500k-800k a week. Unless they're a high volume location, then maybe a million a week. At nearby stores that ARE open you're likely to see them run 24/7 at 2+ million a week . Easily picking up the slack from the stores that aren't open. And either employing those displaced employees or feeding into the employee fund and giving them the help necessary to get back on their feet.There's checks coming hd's way after a storm. Government/charity/insurance/savings. Massive amounts are spent making folks whole again. Only a fool would pull out of them after a natural disaster.
Is it legal to require a doctor's note for employees to carry a water bottle at work?
I've worked at Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse in Utah for about three years and just recently we've gotten new management. I heard of a new rule. My store manager informed me that from now on if an employee would like to carry a water bottle on the floor (in the store in customer view), employees are required to obtain a doctors note stating they are allowed to have a water bottle with them. And, when, said employee gets a doctor's note stating they are allowed to carry around a water bottle with them in customer view, the water bottle must have the Lowe's insignia on it. Is this legal?it doesn't seem right if it is ,but I'm also aware life isn't fair. I want to complain, but I don't know who to complain to, and if my complaint is valid. If this is illegal, I'd be interested in finding out what I can do to change this policy. Any free legal advice (Is there such a thing?) would be great! Thanks.
Do you shop at an Ace Hardware store rather than Lowe's or The Home Depot?
I shop at all of em! For different reasons.Home DepotVery wide selectionCheap or competitive prices for most of the general stuff (sand paper, Drano, gloves, etc.)Large selection of dimensional lumber and plywood; quality can be quite good but you may need to be willing to dig through the pile (and put it back in order; be nice to the next person!)Lowe'sVery similar reasons to Home Depot.While I do like HD's Husky brand, I feel like I can find better quality and selection of tools at Lowe's. I've gone there specifically because I knew they carried vices and parallel clamps. I even saw a benchtop jointer at one store.Nicer store. This is valid for those days when you just wanna wander around some place and you don't wanna be in a warehouse.AceI go to Ace for small things. Small packs of brad nails, a pack of wrenches to for my girlfriend's emergency car bag, a couple of 1/4"-20 nylock nuts.I also really enjoy wandering through Ace. They often have bins of tools that you won't find at a big box store, or As Seen On TV type items that might be just what you need for a project. Ace is great for when you're improvising on a project and don't know what you're looking for. Surely they have it in one of those tightly packed aisles.Finally, a wild card, since I spend way more time in hardware stores than most people: Orchard Supply HardwareNostalgia. I worked at OSH for a few years and it's fun to see how it changes.Deals. As a former department lead, I know what's marked up and likely to go on sale, and I have a sense for when a section might be about to go on clearance.These opinions are my own and simply the product of my long fascination with hardware stores.
How do you check the Home Depot store credit balance?
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO CHECK…The Home Depot and their competition, Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse, have both adopted similar new policies that make all these ways to check your balance on a merchandise credits incorrect, or outdated…Before 6/16, it was able to be checked on hd. homedepot.com and Lowe's.com, and able to be used as a payment method. Due to countless scams where Joe contractor buys a credit for 40% off, meets at the store and is offered the card to go in the store and check it at any checker and, or service counter, where he learns that it has exactly the amount advertised. Joe feels good as he goes and pays scammer 1 the cash for the card, and as he walks back into the store to buy his building materials, he does not know that; 1) The card has been spent online by Scammer 2 the instant the cash changed hands. 2) That the scammers head to the nearest Home Depot to pick up their internet order (Paid for by Joe contractor who is almost to the checkstand by now) 3) The scammers take the item from their online order to the next Home Depot where they stroll up to the return counter and return the item they used Joe Contractors credit to buy. With receipt in hand, no identification is necessary, and guess what they get? Yep, ANOTHER store credit for the same amount and then go meet up with John, Weekend Warrior, building a deck, who saw a good deal for a Home Depot card on Craigslist. And the scammers repeat…HD would NOT help the victim at all. They do not condone the sale of their store credits, and stonewall the customer and tell the poor guy, “The cards say not for resale value.”Now, you cannot check the balance of a merchandise credit anywhere. Only at the store. You cannot use the credit to buy anything online, or by phone. In addition, you must have the physical card, and I.D. to use it in the store which is at the manager's discretion…So take the scammers and boosters out of the equation, make it completely impossible for a buyer to verify funds short of spending it in the store. Shrink decreases, scammers move on, and the store credit is no longer a commodity or in demand. Lowe's has similar history and has adopted the same policy with store credits.So, with all due respect, all previous answers are now obsolete, or outdated, and also incorrect. IN PERSON: POSSIBLY WITH I.D. (Store senior management profiles the customer which determines whether this rule is enforced.)And there is the answer to your question… Good day!
Replacing mobile home countertops??
I currently live in one, and have in 3 others. Certainly your major issue is are you renting to another? OR are the paying rent to another? If the latter I suggest you bring it up with the landlord first. I doubt, they'd balk, especially if you do all the work, in a valid manner. 1995 is not an OLD mobile, and if the mica is having issues such as popping, peeling, you may have other issues to contend with beyond a quality laminate originally installed. Mica can last as long as any mortgage in proper conditions. If you want options, and are allowed, you should still remove the existing laminate, and according to your budget, or the landlords thoughts, decide how you want to re-do the counter tops. It's not an impossible task for a DIY but takes research, some education, and expense, plus being ok with the mess associated in the process. Whatever anyone else says, here or otherwise, DO NOT attempt just a coverup. Steven Wolf
