I was honestly a little disappointed with our experience. We had an item placed on hold, but it was…read moresold to someone else while it was supposedly on hold. We even went back and confirmed the situation with management, so we expected there would be some effort to make things right. We then asked if we could make an offer on a sink and cabinet, but our offer was clearly refused despite the negative experience we had just gone through. Instead, we were simply told to wait until 9/19 sale. When I asked if they could at least put the cabinet on hold until 9/19, they refused to hold it because there's only a 24 hour hold. At that point, the whole situation felt pretty pointless. Unfortunately, based on our experience, if you put an item on hold here, there doesn't seem to be much confidence that it will actually be held for you. I hope management can take a closer look at how holds and customer concerns are handled.

We needed more supplies on a Friday around 4:30pm. We drove there only to find out the hours of operation are M-F, 7am-4pm. Those hours are great for the people who work there but not for people who need supplies for their DIY projects beyond their open hours or on weekends. The two out of the three times I went there Phil helped us. He was very helpful and friendly in answering questions and recommending their products. Their products are of a better quality than you find in big box stores. We had bought round, hook and loop sanding discs from other places and then bought 3 boxes at Infinite Hardwood. The ones at Infinite Hardwood were of a higher quality and lasted longer. They carry real hardwood flooring, sanding discs, wood vents, wood filler, floor sealers, floor finishes, floor tools, wood doe, and much more. We feel their prices are reasonable, too.

Have you ever talked to "that guy" because you need help fixing a problem? Maybe he's a car…read moremechanic, or an IT guy, or a Sommelier at an expensive restaurant. You're there asking b/c you don't know how to fix it yourself and they have the knowledge to help you. You say something like: "I have 3 doors that need to be replaced and I need help getting started." Then you get a blank stare back at you. ... ... ... maybe he's waiting for something else? More words from me? Finally he says "I can't help you with that limited amount of information." And then he's done. That's it. Suddenly you realize you're too stupid to be engaging with such an expert in this field. Maybe I was arrogant to even think this place (called Seattle's Doorhouse" was the correct spot to start my door journey. "That guy", the "door expert", wanted me to know it, too. He rattled off the info that I would need to bring in with me to avoid 1) Wasting his time, 2) Broadcasting how "door stupid" I am, and 3) Be able to write them a fat check. I would need door measurements and wall thickness numbers. (Awesome, I can get those!) The tone ion his voice was, however, the verbal equivalent to an eye roll when he quickly listed a dozen numbers toward me: 60by35by120$13575x130x55$250. I think he was throwing me a bone to get me out the door with some numbers at high speed. It worked. I couldn't get out of there quick enough. And it's because of 3 things: 1) I don't know doors like "that guy" knows doors 2) I'm an idiot in general 3) I'm an expert at wasting the time of other experts.

A century-old Seattle barrel company has been indicted along with its third-generation owner in…read morewhat prosecutors describe as a long-running pollution conspiracy. The 36-count indictment made public Wednesday said Seattle Barrel and Cooperage used a hidden drain to pump caustic wastewater directly into the King County sewer system. Seattle Barrel refurbishes used industrial and commercial barrels and drums. Part of that process involves washing the barrels in a corrosive solution. In a written statement provided by its attorney, Harold Malkin, Seattle Barrel blamed a former employee who was fired nine months ago. The company said it did not encourage or permit that worker's actions and that it will contest any criminal liability for them. The former employee has not been charged. The indictment names Seattle Barrel owner Louie Sanft, whose grandfather founded the company in 1916. It also names its plant manager, John Sanft, who is Louie Sanft's cousin. They are due to appear in court Jan. 9. The charges they face include conspiracy, which carries up to five years in prison; lying to Environmental Protection Agency investigators, which carries up to five years; and violating the Clean Water Act, which carries up to three years per count. "At a time when we are searching for strategies to protect Puget Sound and improve water quality for fish and wildlife, we need companies to do their share -- not scheme for ways to pollute in private," Seattle U.S. Attorney Brian T. Moran said in a news release. Federal prosecutors said dumping caustic, high-pH solutions into the sewer system can corrode it and the treatment plant and that the waste can wind up in Puget Sound, home to protected salmon, orcas and other species. Since at least 2009, the company's permit from King County has prohibited such discharges. In 2012, an employee from the King County Industrial Waste Program reported seeing John Sanft dump oily waste. Over the next several months, the program conducted secret monitoring and discovered that Seattle Barrel was repeatedly dumping high-pH wastewater into the sewer. The county fined the company $55,000, an amount that was reduced to about $17,000 when the company agreed to install an expensive wastewater treatment system. Louie Sanft claimed that the system made Seattle Barrel a "zero discharge" company. That treatment system was not designed or used to handle waste from the 300-gallon (1,136-liter) tank where barrels are washed, however. The tank was supposed to be cleaned by evaporating the water from it, wiping out the remaining residue, sealing the residue in drums and then shipping it to another company for disposal. Prosecutors said the company lied about doing that. Instead, the indictment said, Louie Sanft directed employees to pump the wastewater down an a hidden drain that led to the sewer. An inspection in 2017 revealed irregularities in the company's handling of wastewater, and covert monitoring showed that the company continued to dump it down the sewer in 2018 and 2019, the indictment said. Meanwhile, Seattle Barrel filed reports with the county certifying that it had not dumped any wastewater. The indictment says Louie Sanft directed the conduct, advising employees to look out for regulators, and that John Sanft sometimes helped. Louie Sanft's attorney, Angelo Calfo, denied that. He said his client knew King County monitored the sewer line, so it would make no sense for him to direct an employee to dump the tank water there. Further, Calfo said, Louie Sanft paid the employee overtime to properly handle the wastewater because it was a daylong process to evaporate all the water. The only person who stood to benefit from using the sewer was the employee who got fired, the attorney said.

Normally I'd expect to need to drive 40 minutes or have to go someplace specialized like Limback in Ballard to get access to half of what Alki carries. Disclaimer for the folks that aren't professionals or have never been to a lumber yard though: 1. This place's bread and butter is professionals running thousands minimum through them and from what I've seen they do pretty brisk business for our local tradespeople. They don't always have time to hand hold for small needs, but if you're patient, they're happy to help. 2. If you usually shop at big box stores you might get sticker shock as places like this should typically have much higher quality materials (such as consistently straight, dry 2x4s you don't have to pick through) but with that comes higher pricing. If you're primarily price driven this probably isn't the place for you, no shade if that's the case!
