I hope that it's not the computers they had in service at the stores. The computers used at the paint and stain coumpter in my area store are majorly messy! :shock: LOL

Anyways, the H-D stores have really broaden their appliance and home selections like this to compete with Sears and Rosa's.

Looks like they want to become a one stop shop............ :mrgreen:

I guess this is why they are hiring so many new people nation wide.

Laptops for the contractor on the go! (I wonder if Acers are drywall dust-proof... that stuff ruins everything!)

One thing that Home Depot need to expand in, is their candy/snack selection. Menard's has Home Depot (and Lowes for the matter) beat.

It never stops amazing me. How many companies can anonymously link to the same warehouses before we notice.

That's my favorite thing about an auto parts store. Get new windshield wipers, some wiper fluid, some oil, fuzzy dice, snickers, peanuts, maybe some gum, oh - don't forget a mountain dew and maybe a keyring sparkplug gapper... Geeze, why not add a nacho cheese bar, now what was I here for???

Actually, for all you married types (even those in relationships) who have to go shopping with the misses. How does a wetbar sound inside the department stores? Sure would ease the pain of having to be there...
I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.

But did you find window blinds? I need some 6ft wide to put in my theatre room and I'm having trouble finding them in 6 ft widths. :lol:

Last few times i've been into home depot I haven't seen any sort of stock, which makes me believe that they are only dropshipping them to your door. I didn't check the link but I bet it doesn't say for pickup at the store.
