Meanwhile Lowe's will work on paint until you have what you need and take anything back without a hitch. Honestly, it's mostly always the older man who's been working there for years, who is unfortunately probably a manager. Everything is overpriced (as to be expected), but just this morning I went in to exchange a $35 QUART of paint (which is crazy) because I got the wrong sheen last night. I hardly even touched the paint and told him I'm sorry I just got the wrong sheen and he basically said too bad so sad. Looking my can of paint up and down like it was an alien. I said nothing but thanks anyway and left and I will not be back. Why would I want to buy overpriced items to then be treated like a nuisance instead of a customer just trying to get what they need? Anyway, don't come here unless you have money to throw away so you're not treated like a rat for making a mistake buying their products.

They know handyman jobs, tools, what items they have, where there are located, and how they are used. NOT like the big box stores like Lowe's & Home Depot where the hardware guy might have been flipping burgers in McDonald's last week... If you need help and/or hardware items, go there!

The Green project is a must for any DIY, creative maker, home improvement peoples or…read morevintage/historic home owner. This multiroom warehouse offers a plethora of bits and bobs from donated and gathered home improvement wares. One time I picked up an old door, an old timey facet head and some hinges. From these super economical finds, I was able to fabricate a garden gate, using the faucet as a creative spin on a traditional doorknob or latch. I love it. Recently, I eye spied, a partially used tub of tile adhesive and several random tiles. They'd be the perfect solution with someone with a tiny bathroom or counter top that needed sprucing up. You can find doors, windows, screen, light fixtures, tiles, wood, paint, and a whole host of parts that you can't pick up at any big box store. Think of the green project like a thrift store for your house or creative endeavor. Be patient and diligent, as it can be hit or miss.

This is a very important spot to know about if you own a historic home in the New Orleans area…read more There is a huge inventory of historic buildings in the New Orleans area which suffer due to the challenging environment of the region along with time that results in ongoing damage to different parts of these old buildings and it is hard to find replacement parts. The Green Project is essentially a graveyard of houses that have been sadly torn down and the remaining good parts salvaged which allows current homes to be repaired with the remains of destroyed ones. The biggest negative here is the sticker shock prices of many of the items as you are no longer getting good deals on many of the items which might have been much more possible right after Hurricane Katrina.
