I probably spend even more money than time.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d love to spread my construction dollars around a little more, but the place that\u2019s closest usually wins. After all, if you have a crew standing around waiting for lumber or parts, they\u2019re not working.

Why is employee turnover so high that when you finally find someone, there\u2019s a decent chance they don\u2019t know the store well enough to help you?<\/p>\n<p>And here\u2019s my Jerry Seinfeld-style observation: Why is stuff at Home Depot so frequently broken or out of order?<\/p>\n<p>I understand you can\u2019t just grab replacement supplies off the shelf, and employees probably aren\u2019t allowed to fix a broken door or busted toilet themselves. Still, it\u2019s a pretty bad look when a store that sells everything you need to fix those things has them sitting there in disrepair.<\/p>\n<p>Enough of my rant.<\/p>\n<p>I only bring all of that up because I see broken stuff there often enough that it takes something pretty spectacular to get my attention.<\/p>\n<p>And this one got my attention.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/attachment-d60f6c33-f20c-4a52-8385-d30067fd7653.jpg\" alt=\"Nessmania\" loading=\"lazy\" onload=\"this.parentNode.parentNode.classList.add('frame-loaded');\" onerror=\"this.parentNode.parentNode.classList.add('broken-image');\" fetchpriority=\"low\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\"\/>NessmaniaNessmania<\/p>\n<p>Whatever happened here, that\u2019s not going back together with a few screws and some duct tape.
