Words of Wisdom

Overheard at the Home Improvement Labyrinth earlier today..

Woman - "Boy, I sure do love the look of that crown molding. Do you think that would look good in the living room??"

Man - "Good grief, we've been here an hour and a half, and all we've picked out is a freaking box of nails!!"

Hee hee... Been there, done that..

Today, I spent about about 2 hours picking out a stud finder, and a tarp. Then I heard the above gentleman, and I realized it was about 1 hour and 45 minutes to long for the trip to the maze to have lasted.

So I resolved to do the following:


When going to any flavor of the Home Improvement bulwarks, have a plan.. You can spend days in there just picking out a lag bolt!!!

Also, when you first think that a product fits your needs and budget, grab it and go!!!

Lastly, ask where stuff is located before spending 45 minutes looking up and down the isles for it.

The 2 hours you save are more valuable than the $1.35 you might pocket. And if you can avoid seeing Harvey the plumbers ass-crack on isle 17 even once, these rules will have paid off BIG TIME


That is all...
