I had a broken pipe under my bathroom sink. When I went to replace a roll of toilet paper, the…read morestack I had underneath the sink was soaking wet , along with a few towels. Well I now have a new project to do.. like I have nothing better to do. Ok.. so I dismantled the pipes and looked online to see how to do this repair myself. Now that I had a list of things needed, off I went. First stop ... RONA which is very close to my place . Walked in there- found the piping ( I think ) so I asked a sales rep .. he points to where I was and says .. everything you need is all there and walks away . ( Well that was informative ! ). Second stop... Lowes. Not a rep in sight.. I find the items but there was something missing.. eventually a rep shows up so I ask about what I need- I got recommended a good plumber ( well if that is not a great answer .. thanks scoop ! ). Put everything back and walked away. Seeing as I was doing other errands as well, I go into this Home Depot. Not only were there two reps in the aisle I needed to go.. but they actually helped me with everything I needed. These two guys spent the time and told me exactly what I needed, how to do it and gave me the things I needed to do this . Total cost $20. Time spent: 30 minutes. So here is my advice... Any home repairs or renovations you need to do.. go here ! Forget the other guys who were disappointingly useless !

There are rooms full of salvaged items and new vintage looking items.

And on, and on. The fellow who owns the place is super friendly and great to talk to. It would be a miss if I didn't mention Murphy, the adorable store dog who wanders around like he owns the place. I secretly think he does. Make sure to say hi to him while you're there. It's worth stopping in here every month or so, because their stock changes regularly and you never know what you'll find! Happy treasure hunting!

Definitely worth a visit -- plus, they have free popcorn for everyone!

After the big winter melt brought on by the early hot weather, we discovered a pool of water in our basement - thanks to a thin but long crack in the foundation. I've heard horror stories of getting foundation work done and how much it can end up costing, so I talked to a couple of people about it and the both recommended Con-spec, saying that I could do the work myself. At this, I laughed! I'm not the most handy type of guy, and the thought of doing this kind of work frightened me, but I was assured that Con-Spec could help out. I went to their store on Argyll and explained my situation. The helpful dude working there let me finish and then ask very specific details about the work I had to do. He then went over a couple of options and told me which one was probably the best. He then demonstrated the solution he offered (glue and seal some plugs along the crack, then come back and pick up the gun to inject the sealant) and assured me it was pretty easy....and he was right. I was able to pull off the project with just a few hours work over the course of a couple of evenings - and who knows how much money I saved by doing it myself!?!? Granted, it will take a heck of a rain storm to put my fix to the test, but it looks like it worked great (and with the grading I did outside) we should be able to weather the next bout of storms (fingers crossed). The only downside it Con-Spec is their hours - they aren't open late and not at all on weekends, so if you work regular hours, you'll have to juggle things to get there while they are open.
