Re: My Facetruck thread.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I hope you can find more to finish the job. I just got sticker shock earlier this week buying just one white aluminum 2 x 3 downspout... $28!!! That's a lot of money for a $10-$15 piece. And the lady who helped me acted really strange, as if 'she' thought 'I' was being strange. I'm pretty sure it wasn't me!!
![]() Her: Can I help you? Me: Yes, I need one white 2x3 downspout. Her: Is that it? Me: Yep Her: All you need is just one downspout, nothing else? Me: Yep Her: Okayee (you know, when they say it like "if you say so"). When she went to get the invoice I decided to explain the situation, for some reason. Me: I'm doing alterations of existing downspouts on an old home. I needed more material to work with. I don't use elbows, I miter the bends in my downspouts. I keep zip screws and rivets in supply. As she hands me my invoice she says: "Whatever works" (in a tone to let me know she had doubt) Me: Oh, it works quite well. It's called custom. I can make any angle or offset needed from a single continuous piece without adding in any wrinkled up elbows using less screws that will rust. That's one single continuous downspout below

Re: My Facetruck thread.
building material store help these days probably have no idea how a rain gutter system works much less how to assemble or repair one - just as well have explained it to your shopping cart

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I know. She made me just want to be short, with "yep" answers. But I decided I'd act my normal self and when someone seems to not understand I am kind enough to explain. Though this time sarcastically. It wasn't that she didn't know her job. It's that she questioned a customer's needs when he came in full confidence knowing exactly what he needed. I think after 50 years in the business I look the part of someone with a little knowledge in the building trades. This place was bought by ABC Supply a handful of years ago, but I've been going in this supply house since the '80s. I didn't walk in looking lost and that's how she treated me.
Oh, and then who carries my downspout out? Tim, the only guy left from the former owner. This woman may have never seen me before, but he comes out and sees me and it's "hey old friend, how ya been?". I may not have been in there lately, but I've had an account there for over 30 years

It runs and can carry a lot on the roof. Oh, and you don't have to worry about parking lot dings

Re: My Facetruck thread.
In my head I think I could build something cool from scratch, but it would more than likely turn out like this ... Probably worse.

Not everyone is a designer. Obviously.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
It was sold at the local dealer. I have lived within 5 miles of it since it was new and I did not know she had the truck until the auction a couple months ago. I have coffee with the salesman that sold and delivered it to her farm. It only shows 76,000 miles. I can't find a panel on it that is not dented.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
On that same cover, "Vintage Bronco restoration" article listed and picture of vintage Blazer getting bashed. I guess it's easier to bring back a dead Bronco than get an old Blazer to sit still long enough.
I think that non-original Kmart mirror was bothering the owner and he didn't have tools to remove it.

My friend knew what he was looking at from a distance, climbed over cars to get to it, affirmed it was the truck, and waited till the owner (son of deceased owner) sold off the cars blocking it in. For now it's a pretty fall decoration. One day it will be restored
