so basically once again, this president and office decided that they're above the law and claim now that after 5 years the situation was dire and we needed to move? Sorry, not buying it.

No idea, the screen I don't stress too much about because hey it can be replaced, and it's their fault so just fix it. the door I'm going to have to get creative with to hide the scratches or make them not look as rough as they do.

DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED?!

I'll admit, I don't always know what I'm doing when it comes to repairs so for me it works. So they came and installed my sliding door yesterday, door has scratches all along the top and the screen door is ripped. This is not been a good experience, and will probably be my last time using Lowe's to contract things out. On the other hand, the store manager at Lowe's won't want to hear from my fiancee, at this rate she's going to end up with all of our money back.

The store manager from Lowes said he'd be taking a loss on the job, so I'm not really sure how that plays out for them and the contractor, but I wasn't going to complain when he's offering that. In some cases I would agree, I think with our first guy he was A. having a bad day, or B. just lazy. I don't like to badmouth people, but that guy won't be near my house again. It's not a nightmare situation but it's something that we shelled out a lot of money (for us anyway), and I won't accept a medicore job to be done. My house is old enough as is (built in 1928), and we're doing everything we can to make it good.

This wasn't a small investment either, I know it's not a ton of money for some, but for me it was a lot, and I expected quality work, and it was junk. The other contractor who came out to do the sliding door did great work and in about 15 minutes corrected 4 of the issues from the original guy.

Did they do anything in terms of refunds or apologies or anything?

Congrats!! :thumbsup:

I'm going to revive this thread, because it doesn't make sense for me to start a new one. We went to Lowe's to replace 5 doors (2 Storm, 2 heavy steel and a new slider for my the deck), and it started out great, guy came out, did the estimate, supposed to be a 1 day job, and when finally scheduled it went downhill. The guys show up late, complaining about everything, blaming the store, blaming the house for the way it's designed, and grumbling and whining all day long. Then he says, oh we aren't doing the slider today. Ummm excuse me? soooo long story short, first contractor from Lowe's, shoddy work, unfinished doors, doors not level, door handles not properly installed. Store manager came out and has another guy completing the work and he has guaranteed at least half of our money back once we're satisfied with the service and the quality, so I'll hold judgement on which store is better once I know he will follow up on his word.

I drove by yesterday and I like it, I'm still not sure about the black paint, but I'm trusting there is a plan for it.

Isn't the team liable though for the fact that they're offering it up? (especially IF it was being done illegally, and not by proper medical standards and protocol)?

finally a yes!

I dislike Tom Brady as much as the next Bills fan, but I can still respect his skills as a player. Just like there are many Red Sox/ Yankees fans that can respect a player from the opposite team but may hate them because it's their enemy. The Bills don't have a true rival because we haven't been relevant for so long, so to me, hating on Brady just because he plays for the *pats comes across as whiny and bitter.

based on that pic, no. I've said this before, but I don't get how a teacher in her 20's or 30's can look at a 14 yr old and think " damn, i gotta have that". seriously?

I second that. I'm speechless

Interesting way to respond, but not sure how that relates to sounding like a whining bitter Bills fan complaining about the *pats and who cares if it's legitimate or not based on your early comment wait, are you saying that if a Bills fan praises Brady or another team or player that's equal to banging your wife?

I'd rather sound like an intelligent fan of the game of football AND a Bills fan, rather than some homer who can't have a decent conversation about the rest of the league including the *pats. IMO people sound like complete idiots and whiners when all it becomes is complaint after complaint, instead of being a well informed intelligent fan of the game and the league.

I'm sorry to hear. I have 2 cats and I can't imagine myself being able to hold it together when it reaches this stage

wow a stadium thread? we needed ANOTHER one of these.....

yes, and saying I'm hurt, I'm unable to play. Instead of being handed a bucket of pills and take them so that they can play

I wasn't saying the players were weaklings who struggled to keep their job, what I was saying is that it is easier for the team to prey on the mindset that players have that if they aren't playing due to injury well then, wink wink nudge nudge, we may need to find someone who can stay healthy. If a player develops that mindset, then it's very possible they cave to whatever the team suggests to get them back on the field. In hindsight, which is always 20/20, of course they will sue, I was just giving my opinion that the owners had all the control, and if the players really stood up to them, it could've resulted in them becoming unemployed.

IMO it comes down to preying on the weak. they knew these players wanted and needed to play or they would be replaced, so it was easier to get them to buy in when they knew the other option was to be out of the league.

So here's my question. Where does the blame fall? With the player who doesn't want to miss time for an injury, or the team, who knows this is the case, and also at the same time doesn't want to have their best players sitting out due to injuries? I feel that there has to be a responsibility somewhere in the middle.

Maybe the Gary Cobb story is a one of a kind story, but it wouldn't surprise me to know that teams were doing everything they could to keep their top players on the field as much as possible. wouldn't shock me in the least that this was going on.

my Uncle's sisters great aunt's sons daughter told me this is true.
