And yet there is me, having to go to Home Depot 3 times for a simple job, and still managing to mess it up.

not sure if you've ever watched a crew work but one of the reasons for the cheap labor junior guy is to run to home depot.

And then get the wrong stuff, which the contractor will make do anyway if there's even the remote possibly it will work. and so on. After a while and some $$$ wasted you will get a feel for what's reasonable and what's bogus.

Read past the break, asshole.

Yikes, please don't do this. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules when posting here, we'd be grateful. A more positive form a comment like this could take is to explain what relevant information the article included past the break. Then we'd all learn something, or at least those of us who didn't read the whole article would.

Pay me, and I'll work for you.
