But if one has to do it, might as well feel good about it. I hate it when the store employee tells you the wrong thing because he/she didn't ask enough questions.LindaCOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316183776592482615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559844327227210064.post-89384122308556721502011-11-08T17:53:08.996-07:002011-11-08T17:53:08.996-07:00Plumbing is tricky, and sometimes it takes that ma...Plumbing is tricky, and sometimes it takes that many visits to that many stores to get the right parts and advice.<br /><br />Last Saturday when I was installing my kitchen cabinet hardware, I went to Lowe's to get a countersink drill bit. I knew what drill bit size I was using, the correct jargon, and I had one of the screws along with me to make sure I got the correct size bit. Armed with that, I still trusted a store employee to hand me one that he assured me was what I wanted, so I bought it and went home. Only to find I needed the next larger size bit to complete the job. Annoyed, I went back to exchange it, which they did cheerfully. I got over the annoyance that took 45 minutes to resolve, but ended up being annoyed with myself for not looking at it more closely the first time. <br /><br />I'm better now, and the task is completed. I'm with you on doing these projects myself. It's fun, and the satisfaction is priceless.Bellona of Avalonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10776849332711206094noreply@blogger.com
