This is a Lowe's update. My wife and I are now on a first name basics with about 10 people that work at Lowe's. It seems we go there at least once a day. Yesterday was the day of the tubs. We traveled to Lowe's to purchase a tub for our bathroom update. We head to the plumbing department to pick it out. We show the person what tub we want, he roles it out, and I say is that a right hand drain. And he looks at the box and says's yes. So we load it on my truck and haul it home. My wife and I struggle to get it into the garage and try to get it into the main house. No good it is not going to make it. I will have to remove the door to get it in. OK I remove the door, we lift it in, and unpack it to check it out. Golly o get out it's a left handed drain. A couple of curses and we head on back to Lowe the next day.
I'm cool as I drive to exchange the tub the next day. Pull in to the parking lot, unload the tub, bring it back to exchange it, and pick out a new tub with the right hand drain. I double and triple check to see that is a right hand drain. Load up the truck, head back to our house, unload the tub. Before I take off the packing I check and make sure it is a right hand drain. Well jehosaphat the tub has a very large crack running down one side. More cursing and a lot of running around in circles. I get my composure load the tub on the truck and away I go for the third time to get a new tub.
I enter the Lowe's parking lot once more. I don't even have to steer the truck anymore because there is a groove in the road from me traveling over the same road over a million times in two weeks. I unload the tub, exchange it, and head over to get a new tub that I hope is perfect. The employee brings out a tub. I check the contents of the box. Surprise it is cracked as well. Well after a 40 minute wait they finally got a perfect tub. After I payed for the tub the third time, I bid my new friends a goodbye and head home, wondering if it me that is cursed and that what ever I do will not be right. Somebody please help me.

You are not cursed it is because you choose to shop at Loewes. Just think the money you have saved there has been offset by the gas, time, and frustration if you had bought at one of the local stores. Actually you may be being cursed by the local family owned business
gods......... and REMEMBER you have to be nice to me in your blogs now for at least two weeks
This had better be the best looking bathroom in Maine for all of the trouble you've gone to!
If you only knew how the tubs are shipped to us, you would realize how easy it is that they have concealed damage. It was good that you managed to find one without a little damage.
