I priced out a few garden supplies only to find they were the same exact price as Lowe's right down the street. New or not, the items are not returnable so naturally I would choose the Lowe's option. I visit this store probably every 90 days and will find that a huge amount of items have been sitting at the same price tag for six months or more. Most of the larger furniture they take in is not in the best shape and priced over $150.00. This includes couches that have been torn up by cats and stained up. Still, I visit waiting for the occasional item that is just mysteriously priced very low. Be aware that they sometimes do have % off specials - but there's only one whiteboard at the front of the store by the cashier that indicates this.

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.

The stone was beautiful and the prices are very reasonable. *After posting my review, I received a request for additional info concerning the purchase of my stone. When making a purchase at Tuscan, you must have an installer or contractor. You can pick out your stone, and then Tuscan will forward the pricing info to your installer/contractor, who will then forward the info to you. They don't price directly to the public, as is the case with several of the stone companies that I visited.

I have used liberty for framing material, siding, fence and deck boards. All my purchases were delivered to my home at a small added charge.. something you will not get from the big box stores or the larger lumber yards. And I have never had any quality issues. Also Liberty is the number #1 place to go if you need to match an old obscure piece of old house trim. They even have a small poster sized chart of all the untypical custom milled trim pieces which they carry and you can take home to be sure what you are buying really matches up with your home.

I ordered many loads of their top soil and dirt mix on which to plant grass seed, and they dumped loads of what appeared to be material that was excavated from a site where a building was demolished. The loads contained about 60% crushed concrete with dozens of 20, 30, and 40-pound rocks. Also lots of other debris, such as pieces of PVC pipes, sections of steel chains, small scrap metal pieces, broken glass, and wood mixed with about 40% dry fill dirt. After I sent them pictures of what they delivered to me, they apologized and refunded the thousands of dollars I paid. Unfortunately, they refused to remove these piles of rubble from my property, and I was forced to pay a contractor to remove it.

The flowerbed/Alter originally had a wood border and it was looking shabby. I decided to invest in a rock border. On trip one , I bought 11 Colorado rocks as a nod to my Father's home state. This would give me a gauge on how many I needed. Trip 2, 22 more. All in all about 150$ spent for the border. The pond was another story with several trips until I realized I needed both base rock fill ins and the flagstone topper. I also purchased some water grass and a beautiful purple lily. Super happy with this family run biz and their help in consultation and loading. Easy to shop, grab a cart and start loading, from one rock to a truck full. no rock too small or toobig. I'm sad I don't need anymore rocks, maybe I will one day.....but dang if my yard don't look gorgeous because of them!!

I went there with the intention of taking care of some landscaping projects. The owner was very helpful with listening to my plans and providing recommendations of rocks based on capability to drain and aesthetics. I made about four trips in my truck to pick it up but had I known how much I really needed ahead of time, he would have delivered it for me. So yes, they will deliver. Regardless, he was kind enough to wait till I finished with my project to pay him at the end instead of making multiple payments every time I went there. Since that first time, I've actually gone back for other project needs and recommended him to friends and family. They have not been steered wrong by this company either. Definitely go check them out on Airline.

Alas, I love sharing tips & little secrets, so here goes. They have some N100 & N95 masks in stock again! Now, by giving out this tip I'm hoping anyone who reads it acts responsibly. Don't buy more than you need. Sharing is caring, hoarding is just greedy. Now, that being said, understand that it is still difficult to get masks here. The best way is to order online to pickup in store. You will still wait weeks but at least you can get what you need eventually. This is especially important for those at high risk for whom nothing less than an N95 will do. Order on line & head over to the express pickup counter. No waiting in line, less risk. Or better yet, use curbside pickup. Another tip about Grainger, they have batteries I couldn't find elsewhere. I had been searching for a specific watch battery I couldn't find anywhere. Not only did they have it but it cost me less than 2 bucks. They also carry lots of safety & cleaning supplies. I'm sure if there is something you're having trouble finding, they probably have it!
