home depot deal

Was at the local hd a couple of days ago to get a Gorilla multi pos ladder. Checked on the platforms for the ladder, and they were only 3 or 4.88, regular 30 something. Picked up a couple of them. Couple of days before that I ran across a 2 pack of 6X12 canvass dropcloths for less than 10 bucks. Not sure right now if they are 8 or 10 ounce, but for a little less than $10? Guess the depot is not all bad. I go there some times to check out the clearances. Picke dup a barely damaged $800 dishwasher for like $300 a few months back. Heheh, I came close to making an offer on a Brutus tile saw marked down to $200 regular $400. Heheh, I don't do tile except for myself. I thought if I could get this thing for $100, what the heck! Heheh, it was missing the water tank. I think it was rental they were selling, but did not look abused or beat up and had a reconditioned tag on it. I guess the guestion is, what is their definition of reconditioned.
Wondering if any of the other depots have these ladder platforms and the drop cloths at these prices.

A single paragraph is really difficult to read especially when it is covering so many different subjects. I get lost and that takes some doing.

Yea, most all HD's are selling those Gorilla platforms for 4 bucks. I stop by one near me that's a little off the beaten path, they seem to clearance alot more items out since they're not selling.

I concur.

That reminded me when my kids were in second grade writing essays and I would pull my hair out trying to make them understand they need to start a new paragraph to let the reader know were now on a new subject.

I agree. I guess it was somewhat jumbled. Maybe it was because it was bedtime, or I just fell victum to forumitus.
Ironically, I never made less than a B on essays in college.
An apple to you both!

P.S. Seems I hesitate spelling some words also. I put this off on age, less reading of the printed word and more reading on the internet.
