    Being on a fixed income, I wish I could purchase some of your products, but the cost is more than my budget will allow. But I do support you from the heart and I am thankful that you are being able to bring the farmhouse and land back to what it once was, or as close to it as possible. God Bless you.

      You are absolutely right. I was thinking about that after the experience that it is a management issue, and possibly a company culture issue. In fact I believe it was some kind of store manager doing an inventory that actually asked if I needed help, but then the help never came

    • @HarperFan01
      @HarperFan01 Год назад +5

      I worked in retail in my early youth, comparing my experiences then to my last job, which was in a retail environment, even though I my job was working with businesses, instead of walk in customers. I had to step in daily and do the floor employees jobs due to the fact they ignored customers, was rude to them or didn't do it right. Voicing my concerns to management did no good. Back in the day, if you did any of the above, you were fired on the spot. They now just want their paycheck and not earn it. As to the quality of products now being sold in some, not all has drastically declined. You use to be able to buy items that seemed to last decades. Such a shame, sigh.

      Agree. My Home Depot in Northeast Georgia is filled to the brim with lumber. They have so much inventory in the parking lot too for the garden center. I can't even tell you how much I spent at my local Home Depot. We don't have a Lowe's in my area and have to travel 40 minutes to 1 hour to go to one.

    Hi Robert. I love your channel and have been watching for years. For some reason all my comments are ignored by you but I’m still with you and am hoping and praying you succeed with the old Byrd farm restoration. I live on a fixed income or would be donating for your cause. With that said my husband said to tell you Home Depot “sucks”. We were there yesterday for 2 1/2 hours looking to purchase a saw and batteries (that are sold separately of course ❤). The wait was for someone from the power tool department but finally corralled an arborist from the garden department to help. Another couple was waiting for help as well and a contractor unaffiliated with Home Depot helped them finally. Needless to say we will be going to Lowes next time. ❤❤

If my being subscribed & hitting the like button helps you in a small way to preserve the farm I'm happy. You are a kind & generous man. Buying a log splitter to split wood for your friends. A lot of people wouldn't do that especially how busy you are & that the money could have been used for the farm. You are an example for all of us. You have made so much progress with the farm. I look forward to the day when at least the house is done.❤

    Robert,
    What a difference between the two stores.
    The thing that really makes or breaks any business is how they treat their customers.
    I was ignored on occasion and waited anyway , but today I'll just walk out, I'm
    too old to put up with that nonsense.
    What happened to you at Home Depot should be a warning to everyone, too bad.
    Even if the staff usually meant well, the wood quality tells
    a different story.
    That new floor is going to be awesome.
    A thumbs up to Sandra and everyone else!!!!!
    Cheers,
    Rik Spector

    they are from the center of the tree. which inherent to cup due to the grain of the wood.as long as you look at the

    Nobody wants to work for Home Depot. Can't blame them. Product sucks and customers are unhappy. Who wants to put up with that to earn a living?
    Back to the clean ground. You are right that it's an accomplishment and a milestone.

    Hi,
    Was curious you fast forward the work you do, was curious how long it actually takes you to do this?

    Home Depot in my area, not the south, is the same. I don’t waste my time there anymore.
