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.

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 staff was friendly and helpful. The prices were reasonable and they had the items that I decided upon in stock. (Well across the lake and I could have them the next day, close enough). A little bit later into the job, we decided to extend the gutters and add (and replace) some fascia, and soffet. I bought it all here. Happy so far with the quality and experience.

While I was buying box cardboard, for shipping, I asked a random guy where he gets steel in town. He happened to be an artist as well and uses steel. I spent about a quarter of what I was going to spend Home Depot, or Lowe's, and I got more than I need for both projects. Yay independent distributors. For example, a certain piece of angle iron at Lowe's, 3 feet long costs eights and change. The same angle and size, but 20 feet long is $11. They cut the longest down so they would fit in my car

He starts off with his rant about my propane tanks have to be brought in an weighed. Which they ask of you if you have the standard 5 gal tanks mine were the 7 1/2 gal tanks which are not required to be brought in and weighed. So I refused to bring them in to which Michael insisted they be weighed or not serviced. As Michael retrieved the tanks from my truck he brings them inside an says you can't fill these tanks their expired. Which is a complete LIE these tanks were purchased from that same Ace in 2021 we can assume he thinks all black look alike because he can't even recognize a habitual return customer. Ive had this same disagreement with this person before about the age of my tanks even to go so far as showing him the tanks they have for sale have the exact same dates as he's currently selling.This subliminal racism he displays to black customers is outrageous. I use to shop here weekly filling my propane tanks for food business. I will be shopping at Uhaul from now on for propane
