I just bought 15,390 paver bricks for 25 cents each. That's like 2/3's off the regular price. I'm not entirely sure where to stack 36 pallets of brick LOL. Hopefully they will load them two high. :oops:

Lots of other good deals for the next week or so.

Picked up the Traeger 575 on clearance for $400 and a cover for $79 @ Home Depot. A couple weeks ago the HD credit card sent me an offer to charge over $400 and get a $40 credit. Then a week ago they sent me 10% off coupon. The Traeger and cover is going to be less than $400 before taxes. lol

I was looking at this off brand griddle yesterday. It’s half off regular price.


I’ve never used an outdoor griddle. Been wanting one. Would this be sufficient compared to a Blackstone for the price?

Yes it is and currently Out Of Stock.
RDP probably bought the lot....
There is a guy locally that buys them up and brings to Mexico to resell. Last time the deal started I watched him fill his van completely at Torrance HD. He returned 2 days later and did the same.

I clicked that link last night and there was like 1200 available for delivery. If it was Dewalt I would of bought 2 sets. The Dewalt is 400 off but doesn't have 9 tools.

Wife just returned from the LHC Home Depot. She was looking for a particular plant called the Pink Valentine or Pink Emu. They’re from Australia and are suppose to do very well in our climate. HD did have them in large pots. Far too large for my wife to handle. She went to the Garden Dept register and asked for help. Their answer - Nope, no help available. So she left. Through the years I’ve found the customer service at our HD to be terrible. This is just another example.

I'm kinna over the Blackstone...

It still cooks like it did before, but the finish did Not hold up! It's peeling everywhere, and rusting in a bunch of different spots.

It looks like it's 20 years old, and my 20 year old Webber still looks brand new.

If it starts taking a shit, I'll probably buy one of these...

The Weber griddle is one of the best out there.

I just got this for my Weber grill and love it. I had a 2 burner Blackstone which I moved to the RV. It was hard to control the temp but this one is a lot easier to control.

Just came from Home Depot and took advantage of their 5 for $10 bags of Scott's multch. While loading a truck full, something seemed off from past loads, then I realized what those fucks did. In past years, the Spring Special "5 for $10" bags of multch were 2 cubic feet bags. Now, they are only 1½ cubic foot bags.
Still a good deal though.

Yeah the first BS I bought is doing well at my daughter's patio...the second one I bought about 3 years ago is shit. Rusting all over and takes forever to get hot.
Didn't know Weber had one...thanks for the link as I'll need one for my new patio area.

Not uncommon, most of us construction folk expect it.

There online order system is pretty bad also. I'm on my 3rd shower door order for a small private job that I would like to finish. They give me an order number and three days later cancel it themselves..."Out of Stock". So I order the customers second choice...rinse and repeat. Now on order three as I try to figure out my over/under on this showing up. HD dropping the ball should be their new slogan.

ALL THAT SAID...it doesn't matter one bit., they are to big to fail. Ganahl Lumber does not special order shower enclosures unfortunately or I would be out of this mess.

Thanks. That’s nice of you. But we’re going with Tom at Landscape Restorations. He’ll purchase, deliver and plant it.

I just picked up 80 bags at Lowes a few days ago for the same price and they are 2 cubic feet. I guess Lowes is the place to go.

If your old key is a Kwikset keyway just get the newish "Kwikset smartkey".
It will have a little hole next to the key hole, that little hole allows you to rekey the lock yourself and is crazy easy.

When we shop for a big items seems HD beats Amazon and Walmart cost by a long shot every time.

Lowes sent the wrong Washer and Dryer pedestals, took 4 months to get it straightened out. Refunded then we bought them from HD.
Lowes is a cold place to do business when you have a problem with the order.

It all depends who you deal with at Lowes and HD. Certain ASM at both get shit done. And others are worthless.

I was at Torrance HD last night swapping a battery. They can never figure out the core charges. Except 1 lady who wasn't working. Gavin made it right. And not to much time wasted. He told me DWC made a appearance the day before. Another new Guy Marco has been getting shit done as well.

Lowes across the street has 2 worthless higher up employees. They finally got a new manager. It doesn't matter how many complaints you make. The manager or district manager never calls. I only deal with 2 ASM there and don't waste time with others. They can't seem to figure it out.

Both stores have been slow. HD usually always packed. It was the slowest I have ever seen it last night. Not a good sign for the economy.

…I ended up getting… the quickset rekey yourself front door knob assembly…. but took it to the locksmith anyway… He said you can rekey it yourself… I had to tell him not today… I’m numb from my elbows to my fingertips… So it cost me $20… Which was probably excessive… I suppose if I would’ve come home and read the directions and gone…OH… I could’ve gotten it done…🤷🏽‍♀️

…My only concern with something that you can rekey yourself… Couldn’t someone who wanted to break in your house bring their own key and key the lock for their key… I didn’t even bother to ask the locksmith about that🤷🏽‍♀️

You don't have to worry about that, you have to have the old key to turn it halfway before it will let you rekey it. Honestly 20 buck to not have to worry about screwing anything up isn't bad even though it isn't hard to rekey.

No spring sale on these items. But some of the spray paint is on clearance. Saved $219 with my pro paint rewards.

Great service from Ariana, Jessie, Marco and Gavin. Makes my HD runs easy. Have another van load to buy for another job once I drop off this truck load to my Guys.

… thanks… The door knob assembly is installed… did it myself… Stuff like this used to be a breeze… Not so much anymore… I had just sat down to read the directions as the bezels on both sides are kind of loose… I think that’s the order you’re supposed to do these things in …first you do the install… And then you read the directions later when something has gone sideways …😳🔍
