I was talked into buying a new LED fixture instead of a replacement fluorescent bulb. True, the new light will last forever, and will save us money in the long run, but it was a pain to install, and has one major drawback: when you turn on the light switch, theres a one second delay before the light comes on. Were going to have to live with that for the rest of our lives.

Since purchasing my first house last month Ive found myself in a Home Depot nearly every week. The staff at this location are especially helpful and friendly. I had an electrical issue, and the stores electrician gave me a call and walked me through the repair over the phone at no cost. I spent about $6 on parts to change out a bad light switch. The cheapest quote I got from an electrician was $150. While I cant tackle every project in my home myself, the help from Home Depot has definitely helped me get some projects done I thought Id never be capable of and that saves me a ton of money. The store even holds free classes that you can sign up for online. In a couple hours I learned how to repair a hole in dry wall and it didnt cost me a penny! Great store, excellent prices (they even beat Amazon on a handful of items I checked), and friendly staff.

Follow up - Lowes got the job done in 15 days. They would have had it installed in 9 days but I couldnt take time from work. The difference between Lowes and home depot is like night and day. Really, I dont know how these people stay in business. Went in to buy a storm door, which I thought would be extremely easy to do but that wasnt the case. It took 6 weeks and then when it was FINALLY going to be installed, the guy calls the night before and says hes sick, cant make it. It probably would have taken 60 - 90 days to get a simple task done if I followed their horrific lead. Over those 6 weeks, I was hung up on, put on hold for 15 minutes, and rarely called back. I used Lowes for my storm door on the back of the house and it took 9 days start to finish(I know, why didnt I go back, got talked into it). I canceled the order and will never go back. I cant imagine what these knuckleheads would do if you gave them a tough job to do......
