I priced out Lesco Pre-emergent crab grass stuff 2 weeks ago... very
high at 38.xx per bag. This week 49.99 per bag.. They haven't gotten any in, HD just jacked their prices. I also needed furnace fiters.. been buying the Flanders brand filter... a lot less than the 3m stuff. With a high merv rating. Well they now switched to all Honeywell filters made by Flanders at more than 2x the price... Nice of HD to be thinking we are made of money. F them. That's not a small increase on either product. -- Jeff |

FWIW unless you have an allergy thing, most AC repair guys recommend the 99cent filters changed monthly. This includes my neighbor that was and AC guy and did my repairs for next to nothing. |

That's not a small increase on either product. That's really surprising. They always used to carry three categories of most items - Good, Better, Best. Surprising they got away from that. -- -Mike- |

I bought my last batch of furnace filters at the Re-Store Habitat For Humanity outlet 3-M top grade 20x20x1 $ 5. each - I bought all they had. I change them ~ monthly .. maybe 6 weeks in spring & fall . ... full retail for these, in Canada, is ~ $ 20. - a rip-off in my opinion. John T. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

What I can tell you Jeff is that it's not usually advisable to believe what the guy in the apron says about this kind of thing. Sometimes they really are made aware by the store management, but generally - not so much. He may indeed be correct but it sounds to my ear like he's making this crap up. Jacking up the price on last year's inventory is just not how HD operates. That's really surprising. They always used to carry three categories of most items - Good, Better, Best. Surprising they got away from that. Yep, now the store has one brand... HONEYWELL... but its HONEY NOT SO WELL at those prices. Yea they have different merv ratings, but even the lowest pleated was more than I was paying b4. So HD SUCKS. Now you have me curious. Next time I swing by my local HD, I'm going to look and see what they have - just out of curiosity. -- -Mike- |

Try Glassfloss Z-Line filters from Amazon.com. They are MERV 11. You need to buy them by the case but they've proven themselves to be as good as anything 3M sells and at $5 each (in my 20X25X1 size) they seem quite reasonable. A case should do you for at least four years. |

You are seeing things Jeff, that just do not really exist in the real world. -- -Mike- |

I am an HVAC guy, they sell a plastic horsehair type filter (washable) that is usually green or orange. Air across the filter sets up a natural static charge that helps reduce the dust n pollens going across it. But, to increase the capability of the filter, take some liquid soap, like Joy, mix it 50/50 with water and spray in air entering portion of the filter. (The back has like a 1/4 in plastic bonded screen.) let it dry and put into you filter compartment. (cut the thing to size first. ![]() The soap will increase the stickyness of small stuff sticking to it while the electrostatic charge helps with the rest. If heat only system pull the filter, flush it with water and it will reactivate the soap to was the filter off. Shake the water off and respray. repeat every 4 months. If you have HVAC then up it to once every three months. The filters will last about two or so years, you can tell when it is shot as it will become too limp. Hope it helps. |

Here's the thing, I use the filters for home HVAC, but I also have 2 other applications. 1 is a filter for my spray area, I suck up all the overspray with it. The other is a tower, (getting rid of it and making a downdraft table) to clean the air... When I make the downdraft table it will be the air cleaner too. So I want that downdraft table to have the finest filtration... which will be multiple filters, pre-filters to catch the initial stuf, and finer filters to catch all the find particles.. Will this HAIR filter catch the fines? I think it would be a pre-filter right? -- Jeff |

Losers if you ask me... For some, the best consolation for being a loser, is to have a ton of money. How you get it, not as important. It certainly is to me. I am not out to be a million or billionaire. CEOs top the list of psychopaths: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/drishti...udies-say-yes/ I have known quite a few, and I really don't like most of them as people. There are a couple of exceptions. Not sure if the money made them that way, or the greed to get the money... I suspect its the greed. I can't see where greed would make anyone a more agreeable person. There are all kinds of people, and there are those (both rich and poor) that measure their success in life by money and possessions. It's a score keeper of sorts. Some/many people need to keep score in a very conventional way, You and I don't. For better or worse, I'm a convention breaker myself. The world doesn't need many like that, but it does need a few. I thought Kim looked pretty hot in that pic. There is something to be said for eye candy. I see nothing attractive about them. But to each his own. Money can't buy you class, and they are proof of it. But it's always nice at a party to have a few ladies who have a booty big enough to sit your drink and hors'd plate on. Steve LOL -- Jeff |

Noticed Home Depot is now advertising these in the last few days:
http://www.cabinetmakerfdm.com/91787.html http://www.homedepot.com/p/Project-P...489?quantity=1 Online only, shipping can double the cost, no store delivery option, and delivery time ten to 14 days? Convenience always has a price, and there are situations where "in-store" availability may justify that, but shipping costs and delivery times don't classify as "convenient". Good luck, CFP, with that business model ... -- eWoodShop: www.eWoodShop.com Wood Shop: www.e-WoodShop.net https://www.google.com/+eWoodShop https://plus.google.com/+KarlCaillouet/posts http://www.custommade.com/by/ewoodshop/ KarlCaillouet@ (the obvious) |

Good luck, CFP, with that business model ... Did you notice the size, 2'x8', no full sheets. Yep, but I did manage to do a faux "checkout" with a 4'x4' sheet of walnut for $46 something, plus tax and a shipping cost of $55. Equates roughly to $92/full sheet with no shipping. A few dollars more than my old price sheet from Hardwood Products lists; and about $20 less than Clark's, with no shipping. Then again, I did not notice grade mentioned in the ad (grade is not an indication of quality, just visible characterics). AAMOF, I have recently bought higher quality imported C3 (as far as ply's, no voids, and less brittle veneer) at Hardwood Products than some of their Domestic A1 grade. -- eWoodShop: www.eWoodShop.com Wood Shop: www.e-WoodShop.net https://www.google.com/+eWoodShop https://plus.google.com/+KarlCaillouet/posts http://www.custommade.com/by/ewoodshop/ KarlCaillouet@ (the obvious) |

Big difference. while it looks like walnut on my monitor, that means nothing as the online ad might not be WYSIWYG. Can't imagine CFP, or even Home Depot, actually selling butternut for walnut ... be tough to get away with. -- eWoodShop: www.eWoodShop.com Wood Shop: www.e-WoodShop.net https://www.google.com/+eWoodShop https://plus.google.com/+KarlCaillouet/posts http://www.custommade.com/by/ewoodshop/ KarlCaillouet@ (the obvious) |

Considering that can you buy butternut in plywood and or IIRC butternut is more expensive than walnut. |
