I called Home Depot to ask a few questions regarding a galley kitchen & cabinetry. I didn't have 1…read moreexact measurement. I was giving her crumbs, guesstimated all & she baked a loaf of bread!! I spoke to an awesome woman who's name is Marie, she could give me calculations on everything that I asked! I was boggled! She is exceptional!! Very impressive. I gave her whacked minimum measures & Marie was able to help me with every single inquiry including phenomenal suggestions. Marie is a find! She's one of the few of very few employees who offers up exceptional critique, how to & what options were available etc etc!! I hope she makes bank! She's worth the big bucks. I call with so little information, she spoke to me for nearly 30 minutes without an iota of hesitation. She knew exactly "what to" in the department of carpentry including stove/refrigerator sizes. Marie is Home Depots best of the best. She's a wicked strong employee. She's likely a manager or in construction if not she is well versed & worth her "weight in gold!!" Marie exceeds.. she's patient, professional, kind, great sense of humor, & she knows exactly what's up without fail. Marie is one amazing lady!! Home Depot needs to recognize a rarity like Marie & give her $$cudo$$. I was in construction many moons ago & wouldn't be able to respond with any type information as she did. Marie is what I call an Exceptional Super Pro! I've been to the best of the best in stores i.e. paints, fabrics, whatever high-end! Marie could go anywhere & work wherever she desires. If any one extremely high-end store is looking for a woman with her skill, background & I believe she has rare photographic memory... I'd be offering her big bucks & snagging her from Home Depot!! She's a rarity, a true gem! Marie's invested at Home Depot, they need to invest in her so as not to lose her. I'll say she can build it & they would come!! She could simply own her own place & make it work!! She can do whatever her heart desires or dreams!! Yes, she's all that!! "photographic memory" the technical term for this rare, visual recall is eidetic memory--hyperthymesia"

In 2015 I was searching for a natural gas baseboard heater for my kitchen. There had been one there…read morewhen I bought it, but a master plumber friend told me it was unsafe because it had a live flame (it was also visibly old and worn and I wondered what other hazards were lurking); he properly removed it for me - this is a task that requires a person to have a professional gas fitter's license. The long dimension of my kitchen faces primarily north, with only narrow western and eastern exposures. I bought an electric baseboard to replace the original natural gas heater but when the winter was seriously cold, it wasn't sufficient to keep the room warm. I'd gone to the big box stores, but they only carried electric baseboard heaters. I'd checked plumbing and heating supply stores and websites for natural gas heaters but could only find tallish, rectangular ones; because of the room's configuration, I needed a baseboard heater. One day I remembered that Dan Walker of Downeast Appliance, who had come to my house to repair some appliances, had looked at my ceiling mounted furnace and told me that Grainger's carried them (I'd been told that they were no longer being manufactured). On a whim, I drove to Grainger's to ask if they carried a natural gas baseboard heater. At the time I thought that they only sold "to the trade" but hoped they would direct me to someone who could sell me this item. I was pleased to be wrong - they do sell to the public. A very pleasant fellow named Kevin ably assisted me and found two models, both by the same manufacturer - Cozy. I was delighted to find out that they were made in the USA. One was too long - six feet, and the other just right - four feet. Cost $1,030 - Kevin said "ow" for me. It turned out that they were being discontinued with only eight in stock, and one in the building. Kevin reserved the one in the building for me. He told me that they reserve for eight days, cash and carry, and that they accept cash, credit or debit cards, no personal checks. He printed materials for me and indicated that I could access them online too. The whole process was very quick, only about 15 minutes. At home I reviewed the materials which stated that the combustion chamber was sealed, alleviating my primary safety concern. A few days later I picked up the heater. A different sales associate wheeled it out to my car for me, chatting sociably all the while, and got the boxed heater safely settled there for transport. I took it home and arranged to have it installed. Now my kitchen is warm and usable during the bitter winter periods; before it was not unless I was baking or roasting something in the oven. The people at Grainger's were friendly, effective, and professional. They carry something like 1.5 million products. If you've hit a dead end in your search for a needed item, give them a try, online at https://www.grainger.com/ or at their Warren Avenue location.

I went to the Steep Falls Building Supply the sunday after thanksgiving because when my new dryer…read morewas delivered the hose was too short. Knowing the store was far closer than the store the dryer was purchased, and having been a customer a few times since moving in the area, I went inside and asked the man working for what the installers rommended...an 8 ft "soft" dryer hose. (The distance from the vent to the machine is pretty close to 8 feet so the hose needs to use its full length). I am advised "it is illegal to buy or sell soft dryer hoses in the state of maine but we have a few hard ones over here". Assuming this man wouldn't outright lie to me I believed him thinking it may be a newer law that the installers wouldn't know about.Go home, fail at installing the difficult to maneuver hose resulting in the thing actually unraveling. I call my husband who tells me I believe in people too much and comes home with a soft dryer hose and installs it without a fuss. If he had been honest and said you didn't have any in stock you would have lost my business for the day. Now you've lost it for life. Hope it was worth the $9.99.
