Difficult Lowe's
![[mail]](img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
I spent over three hours in a local Lowe's yesterday, trying to buy material to continue with my home remodeling.
- Glass Block for an art deco accent to the stairwell bookcase
- Components to install the glass block
- DecoLav lavatory consoles
- 60"x36" whirlpool bath
- Stone floor and complimentary wall tiles
- Shower doors, faucets, etc, etc, etc to complete the picture
First, I waited for help in plumbing. After several pages and an half-hour, I decided to move on.
The person who helped me with my glass block design seemed knowledgeable, but, in a case of the experienced meeting the innovative 
he was convinced, after an half-hour, that I couldn't make my vision a reality. I decided to regroup back at home, take his knowledge and then prove him wrong: 5 glass "arches", each made of three of these stacked up and topped with one of these, set "back-to-back" as it were. Maybe it will work, maybe not, but I think it will look very cool.
Back in plumbing, I was passed from person to person, without any success in being able to order what I wanted. After two hours of this, I left, too frustrated to even begin trying with the flooring and tiles.
Today, I thought I would revisit their web site, which has proved so painful in the past. Today was no exception. They have the glass block that I need, listed, but not the components [spacers, anchors, etc] - and no indication of whether the price is per piece or per case [from the store prices, I think per case] nor any indication of how many per case [I know 8 pieces per case from the store for the regular blocks, but how about the end pieces?]
They don't have the 36" wide whirlpools listed on the web site, only the 32". They don't have any "special order" items listed.
What a joke! A cruel joke, frustrating.
