More Home Improvement Tomfoolery

FreeballinDC

Dumper Humper
About a month ago, I special ordered two new exterior doors from Home Depot to replace the current front door and back basement door. The front door is normal sized, while the back basement door is an odd sized and had to be cut accordingly.

When the doors arrived, my contractor who did the original renovations, came over to install the back basement door. When he went to install it, he noticed that they constructed it in the wrong size.

We both go back to Home Depot, and return the door and then realized that Home Depot had ordered the right size, but the manufacturer screwed up a perfectly fine door.

My contractor suggested I get a good wooden door, have it cut to size, primer it, and then he would hang it.

After it was all said and done, I wanted to hang everybody from the manufacturer to my contractor.

Now I have a back basement door I don't really want (it's not the same style as the front door), and at some point, I'll have to replace it again anyway to match up with the rest of the house.

Pure bullshit!

Why can't the manufacturer make good on the order?


That does suck though.

I thought about it, but I don't have the time to wait for another door, and Home Depot fully refunded the money for the door, so I am not out anything.

BTW, the alarm company just called and said my burglar alarm is going off.

It's my dumb ass contractor who didn't call me to let me know he was going to work today.

God, where's crak600 with his gun?

FB, It could be worse..

You could be living in D.C.

LOL Ass

Speaking of DC, I on purpose avoided the new Home Depot in town, because they are bad about screwing up orders, as per a previous experience with that particular store.

I went out to Falls Church (the sniper Home Depot) just because they are supposedly good at what they do. Damned if they didn't fuck up anyway.
 
now you know why i bought the new front door for the Rnch Ramanda from Lowe's.

the depot was over three hundred higher for the same door, HD's minimum installation quote was higher, even HD's initial some0out0and look-at-my-door-opening was higher.

lowe's had one year same as cash financing available, HD did not.

You're allowed into FC ?????


Yes, I had to get out there quick before my Virginia passport expired.

Seriously, the Depot would not schedule an installation unless I went to the DC Depot to purchase the doors.

I was pissed. I refuse to order ANYTHING from the DC Depot, because they do nothing but fuck it up.
 
I hit a huge ass mall up in FC one time when I did a conference at the hotel connected to it..
Lots of rich tight ass looking anglo people ready to get nazi on someone

Do you remember the name of the mall? I can't remember anything like that in Falls Church, not that there isn't one out there, but just don't know of it.

I still hate Lowe's, and after my last trip, I won't be going back.

LOL, I went to Lowe's as well for this scavenger hunt. They couldn't install the door because they didn't have a licensed contrator under contract to do installations in DC.

How fucked up is it that a major home improvement chain does NOT have a contractor lined up in a city?

It's as if I am not supposed to have new fucking doors on my house.

Green Acres is the place to be.....
