The Story Of How Home Depot Saved Our New Floor

A sequel to my previous article, The Story Of How Home Depot Ruined Our New Floor.

Last week, I wrote an article about the horrors of Home Depot. My uncle and I took on a remodel project for our office, and Home Depot sold us products that made the job much harder. I was frustrated with the service we received, but I am pleased to say this is no longer the case.

After writing my article, I wrote an email to Home Depot explaining everything my uncle and I had done and how it had failed. It was a long email, and I honestly didn't even know if they would look at it. My uncle actually looked it over and said it was too long.

The joke's on him - my email may have been long, but it got us a response. Much to my delight, we received an answer the next day. Not only was Home Depot sorry for all our troubles, but they refunded my uncle $280.

Funny enough, the cost of the peel-and-stick vinyl tiles we were thinking of buying from Menards costed $280.

Before we bought from Menards, however, we gave Home Depot one last try. They had promised us an employee discount on our next purchase, so we checked out their vinyl tiles.

The employee that helped us was very knowledgeable about all kinds of tile, ceramic and vinyl. He showed us all the different types, explained the pros and cons of each option, and instructed us on the installation process. It was very satisfying to receive such good care and assistance after our previous dealings.

In the end, we went with Menards, but only because it was cheaper and they had a certain tile that we really liked. Home Depot was super helpful, and we probably would have bought from them if they had the same tile.

We also have Home Depot to thank for completely covering the cost of the new floor. It's only been two days and I am nearly done installing the tile - it's massively easier than the whole awful process of painting the concrete. And honestly, I think this tile looks better than the paint we chose.

Once it's done, our office is going to look really nice. It's been a long, painful process, but we are finally in the home stretch, and I can't wait to see the final product.

On another good note, Six Flags America FINALLY gave me my refund. It only took them a month and a half. (See my previous article on Six Flags here).

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
