A Home Depot associate got back to me last night. The information I received on Monday was incorrect. It would take 10 to 13 business days for my patio furniture order to arrive.

I’ve got the steaks, beer, hotdogs, and burgers ready for —“ well perhaps August 18th at the earliest. I best not get my hopes up.

There are so many Home Depot S**ks websites out there. They echo the same story and others even sillier or more horrible. The main Home Depot S**ks site is pretty informative. Just use caution —“ there’s a lot of bitter language out there.
