Work Continues

This weekend we continued the work on the basement, adding another wall and a few more doors.  After trying to hang one door for an hour or so noticed the reason we couldn’t get it to hang correctly was the top and the bottom of the door was warped.  That was a little annoying, checking to see if the door you just purchased is not bowed like a banana wasn’t something I thought to check.  I will now though.

So last night Dad and I went over to Menard’s to get a replacement door.  We looked thru the doors they had in stock and noticed all of them were warped.  So dad said to the man working in that area "All the doors are warped" and he just blankly looked at us and then replied "Well that’s Menard’s."  We quickly  asked what that  suppose to mean and he said "Well those doors are Menard’s quality doors, sorry". (Note these are the only pre hung doors they carry its not like I was buying the cheapest thing I could find)  I was completely floored that a employee would make such a comment. He might as well have said yep, the standard of our company is so low we just sell the bottom of the barrel junk to you poor saps who are willing to come into our brand new meaga store… that might very well cave in on you because well "its Menard’s quality".

As we left the store I quickly put down the door shims because they too were probably "Menard’s Quality". 

I realize the Tool Shop tools they sell aren’t the top of the line… but you have to be kidding me this was crazy that a sales person would say that.

So I guess this is a "Menard’s quality" post…  Lowes and Home Depot here we come….
