6. They can also look me up if they have problems with...

the new pressure-treated lumber

concrete and other masonry

roofing (shingle, low-slope and metal; I also know how to do a built-up roof)

siding (vinyl, plywood and fiber-cement)

ventilation

ladders

insulation

fencing (wood picket, vinyl picket, wood or vinyl post-rail, wire, chain link, electric and Invisible Dog Fencing)

doors, windows and moulding

paneling and wainscoting

just about any kind of hardware or tool question

some plumbing stuff

many kitchen and bath questions, and even some appliance questions

just about anything to do with paint or decorating

caulking and weatherproofing

some flooring (although I am very bad with carpeting)

some electrical--lighting is my specialty

a very small amount of gardening--although I am much better at killing plants than keeping them alive...even when I'm trying not to kill them

They used to print "I help in all departments" on our aprons. They took that off at the first of the year because it turned out that very few of the 380,000-plus Home Depot associates could actually help in all departments. Sometimes I write it on there because I was one of the few.

You can't just make shit like that up, folks.

5. And how about the Kewaunee Chambermaids?

It is an all-male marching-band-in-drag. They march every year in the Trout Festival Parade in Kewaunee, Wisconsin. Sounds like all-guy fun to me!

7. You Squandered Your Whole 15 Minutes In ONE DAY??

Isn't that just like a typical LIBERAL!! Wasteful, wasteful, wasteful. What a shame. :hi:
