    I had a new storm door installed through Lowe’s and the contractor they contracted to do it showed up real nice, we talked, then he went off and smoked meth and did the best fucking job I’ve ever seen.

    50/50 I guess.

      I had a gas stove installed by Lowe’s. The guys that installed it couldn’t figure out how to get the gas to stop leaking, but wouldn’t admit they had no idea what they were doing. They told me I would have to turn the gas valve off at the connection when I wasn’t using the stove

      I stopped trying to explain and let them leave, because I was over it. Installed the connection myself, I was just happy I didn’t have to move it or the old one

      I did call Lowe’s and let them know about it though, so that those guys wouldn’t inadvertently kill someone with their installations

      50/50 for sure lol

        Just install a barbeque lighter near the leak and set a timer to regularly light it and just flare off anything that has leaked since the previous flare. Then, when rebuilding after the fire, add a pressure sensor to the new setup that reduces the interval if the pressure increases beyond what it was when the interval was first calibrated.

        Listen if all you’re doing is storm door build outs you get pretty good at it even especially when you’re smoking meth.

        Actually I’m misremembering, he did the front door as well as the storm door.

        Installed new trim and repaired some exterior wood rot he found and fixed the trim above the door so it would stop leaking lmao.

        All those things were supposed to be extra charge but he just did them and that was that.

      I bought a fridge from Lowe’s and one of the delivery guys asked to use my bathroom. When I went in there later, he had basically managed to pee on the floor instead of in the toilet. I’m a bit of a “tinkler sprinkler” myself but this was next level.
