to 6' to fit in the bed, with the cover closed, when I picked up a bunch of
stuff from my dad's.  Before a 6 hour drive home, in the rain.  Or cutting a 16'
garage sale board to transportable length.


I have told this story before but since saws at the lumberyard has come up… I
needed some moldings from Home Depot and since their saws are always so horribly
dull I took in my own, a circa 1890 Disston 22 inch #12. I carried my length of
molding up the the cashier to check out and she asked to see the saw. I gave it
to her and she turned it all over and then said. “I’ll have to get a price check
on this.” I explained that it was mine and she said, “I have to get a price
check.” I told her I would be more than willing to pay for it, and buy another,
if she could find it in inventory. She hit the store loudspeaker w/ a request
for someone from the tool department to come to the register. He duly arrived,
from about ten feet away he started laughing, and just walked away shaking his
head. That’s when I discovered that at least some HD staff know their stuff.
