Home Depot Fails Again<\/i><\/p>\n
A while back I broke down and ordered a Ridgid sliding miter saw on the Home Depot site. Chinese tools (i.e. nearly ALL tools) are getting more expensive, and they were offering it at a price over a hundred dollars lower than a Bosch. I have some jobs I need a miter saw for, and as much as I love my Ridgid 10″ non-sliding saw, I have found that it’s just too small for a lot of projects. If you never cut anything wider than a two-by-six, this is your dream saw. Otherwise, grit your teeth and get a slider. Or try to find a way to cut long boards to length on a table saw. I am not willing to fool with that.<\/p>\n
The new saw was backordered, and damned if Home Depot didn’t cancel on me. I am so mad. In the stores, the saw costs $50 more. And I have been waiting for it so I could fix more things an idiot contractor ruined. Honestly, you can scream at a lying boob and get nowhere, you can waste your time in small claims court, or you can buy materials and follow behind these pinheads and move on with life. I choose the third option.<\/p>\n
I guess I’m going to have to pay the extra money, unless I want the rain to continue pouring through the two-year-old doors Mr. Professional Contracting Genius built.<\/p>\n
But homeowners who do their own work are jerks. Remember that. Contractors say so, so it must be true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
