The Home Depot

First freeze of winter after Ak came in and redid their work-​not that cold outside but intake pipe has frozen ice dripping and its inside the furnace closet not on an outside wall. Had trouble this summer and they or Home Depot never returned my emails even though that is what their responce on Unilocal said to do. Geo-​thermal nightmare-​see new photo! Home Depot sent out Aksarben Heating as their contractor so I am posting here also! no reply all summer! $ 26,000. Put through HELL but none of the heat!

Home Depot is a decent sized store with a great sale every now and then.
The service is so mixed. Sometimes when I go, they are very knowledgeable, but other times, they aren’t. Not sure if some of the people are new or something, but if I ask a general question about sinks in the bathroom section, I honestly expect them to know the answers.
I usually come to home depot for my ‘hardware store needs’, but I like to go to Menards as well because their prices are usually better.

I am remodeling a rental house and I went in to have them order a tub, surround and shower door which they have online but do not carry in the store. They have signs all over that they will beat competitors pricing but when I asked them to match the pricing I had from another supplier they refused. I called Home Depot corporate and they had me return and talk to a manager. Again they declined to match pricing nor can they special order what I want and have me pay for it at the store. I have to order it online. The front line employee I talked to was very nice and helpful but the management people are idiots. I will not go back.

Home Depot is by far my favorite home improvement store.
Now just because I am a woman, doesn’t mean that I am not handy. I am a self-​learner, a Pinterest copy-​cat, and DIYer to the max! All of which encompass a need to go into an intimidating, testosterone filled store such as Home Depot.
But intimidating, it is NOT! To prepare for the journey, I make a list of things I think I need, hold my head high and act like I know what I am doing. Pshhhh! I am immediately greeted by a person with a smile asking me what I came in the store for that day. What a relief! Now I don’t have to spend hours looking for someone is an orange smock where I can find a ¾ size cement capable screws. It’s super handy to have employees there to help at a drop of a hat. Most of the time when I act like I know what I am talking about, the employee is ten times more knowledgable, which is always helpful. I have not yet been disappointed by my treks into Home Depot.
Home Depot also cuts wood! FOR FREE! This makes my life of making benches, headboards, and window cushions that much easier. I fill like I don’t have to go out and buy a saw, or borrow one from the neighbor (thank god!).
I also love Home Depots gardening section. Everyone I’ve talked to is very knowledge about plants and can immediately find what I am looking for. And might I mention they have succulents year-​round!
They also have beginner and advanced classes for an array or projects. Not to mention, if you are a mom or dad, they also have a kid’s class.
If you are, or are looking to get into DIY, definitely check out Home Depot, for all/​most of your crafty needs.

Good help if you can get it. Stood around pacing in the aisle, only to find what i needed 2 aisles over
