Thoroughly disgusted with everything about Hammond Lumber due to our ongoing window fiasco, we instructed our contractor never to buy anything from them for us again. This includes the back doors that poorly run excuse for a store couldn’t manage to find after 3 weeks of trying.
The mind boggles.
With those instructions… our poor, beleaguered, probably sick of us contractor went across town to another building supplier called Hancock Lumber and opened an account.
Within minutes they found the odd sized bedroom door with the decorative window we wanted in the correct size.
It’s a miracle!
.

.
They actually laughed when told what an issue we’d been having with it.
And not only did they promptly order that door, but they had the full glass panel door with built in blind we need for the living room…the one that baffled the other place… on the display floor.
Another miracle!
.

.
Our contractor was so thrilled he took photos and texted them to me.
.

.
And that my friends is how it’s supposed to work.
You go to the store.
You tell them what you want.
They order it.
In a matter of minutes.
I’m not religious, but thank you Jesus!
.

Oh, sure. We paid more than I expected…but the damn things will here in 10-14 days and with any luck will be installed before it snows.
Finally!
Some good news.

You’re right. I shouldn’t crow about it until the doors are delivered, installed and working as they should.

So the incompetance definitely was on the other lumber supplier. Glad that’s finally over.

Include that in your review. But I do wonder why contractor didn’t do it to begin with.

He’s too busy to physically shop for them, though he did that for us one day. He deals with this company… tells the sales rep what he needs and they find it. Or in our case, don’t.

It’s supposed to be a clip of the HALLELUJAH CHORUS. It must have been hijacked by Jeeps. 😥
