Did you know Home Depot sells items not made in the USA

Along with 99% of United States retail stores...

That indeed sounds downright terrifying...Are you saying that Home Depot is engaged in a toilet flow-rating conspiracy to cheat you out of your hard-earned money?

not my money the customer who thought there home depot special would qualify for the city rebate

I just learned more about the relocation of turds in this thread than I ever knew before. Who knew?

I learned an interesting fact the other day looking for yellow PE. The plumbing guy (who was a master plumber and very knowledgeable) informed me that HD does not sell CSST, the yellow corrugated stainless gas pipe commonly used, uh, everywhere.

Apparently it's for liability reasons, they are afraid it will encourage more DIYers to blow themselves up. Like black iron is more user-friendly for novices.

In the Midwest, Home Depot is done for anyway. It's long been surpassed by a combination of Lowes (quality), Menards (price point) and Fleet Farm (price point, automotive and farm.) Lots of Home Depots have closed and lots more Menards and Lowes have opened.

I hate shopping at Menards. ugh.. like the Wal-Mart of home improvement stores.

the only thing redeeming, is they do sell quite a few items made in the USA.

...I'm picturing a HF toilet stinking up my bathroom like their rubber mallet stinks up my toolbox. I guess you could argue that the HF stink could be seen as a benefit in some situations.

What the hell is it with that particular rubber mallet? I needed a "clean" one that had not been used for a project a while back, I did not need a super high quality hammer for this one-time job, and figured a five dollar cheapie from HF would do. I knew it stunk like so much of their rubber goods, but figured it would not be too bad. After the project, the mallet went into my one toolbox in my basement shop. I could not stand the smell. It does not smell like any rubber or plastic I know of. Hell, it made my toolbox smell like a Superfund site. Out of the house it went to spend the rest of its life in the garage hanging on a hook on the wall.

You mean like while looking for a water pump with a flow rate of at least 1,000 GPH and the "Plumber" with the orange apron could not figure why the flow rate would decrease as the psi increased? (can you say flow restriction) He said he let the ??? figure out all of that stuff. Forgot who ??? was, I think I had already stopped listing to him.

I hear you Harold. Anytime I venture in to HD with my wife and am not quite sure about what I need or where to find it she wants me to ask someone. I tell her it's not worth my time. After asking herself a couple of times she now understands what I was saying. There are a few knowledgeable people but they are few and far between.

A rough topic to read about when you just had a diverticulitis attack! I spent Wendsday in the hospital thinkin about shizzle pipes! I prefere the 98 Menards car over the 48 lowes car and the 20 home depot car! I would shop at Menards just for that fact ifin there was one here!

 

[Greatbear]

Eeek. Diverticulitis nearly killed me in '97.

So does Walmart and Harbor Freight.




I have a glacier "toilet in a box" in my garage, while mainly used as a pisser, it has never disappointed when used as a *******.

The person who goes through the expense of replacing their toilet(s) in hope of a rebate only to learn that their throne of choice is not eligible for said rebate...that's who. And, if you own a large apartment building like some of us, that could be thousands of dollars.

I'm sure all the big time apartment building owners (like yourself) in Fla. shop at Home Depot!!
...Maybe you built your apt. building yourself too...you and your dreamed up friends......"no mom, I'm not on the computer again..."

.Bwaaahaaaahaaaa....putz
