ʻAʻohe hemahema o nā ala e mālama ai i ke kālā ma Lowe's. Nā kuʻikahi o ka lā, nā kuʻikahi mīkini, nā kūʻai ʻōpala, nā uku hoʻēmi pena atomized, nā kūʻai hoʻomaʻemaʻe, Black Friday a me ka hapalua kakini o nā kūʻai makahiki ʻē aʻe, nā uku hoʻēmi koa, nā lawelawe hoʻonohonoho haʻahaʻa kānalua ... ʻoiai nā uku hoʻēmi āu e loaʻa ai ma nā kūʻai hou ʻana i ke kau inoa - - hoʻomau ka papa inoa.
He maikaʻi kēia mau mea a pau, akā ʻaʻohe mea e haʻaheo ai ma kahi pāʻina. ʻAʻole, no ka hoʻopūhoihoi maoli i ka poʻe e hōʻike ana i ka pāʻina poloka ma kā lākou mau mīkini ʻoki mauʻu, pono ʻoe e hack i ka ʻōnaehana ma kekahi ʻano. ʻAʻole, mai hack iā ia e like me Crash Override lāua ʻo Acid Burn i hoʻohenehene i ka Secret Service ma Hackers. ʻOi aku ma nā hacks ola. ʻO kekahi o kā mākou mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo he mau hana i ʻae ʻole ʻia ma waho o ka lepili; ua ʻae ʻia kekahi e Lowe's akā ua inaina ʻia e nā limahana o Lowe; a ʻo kekahi he manaʻo hou i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo kūʻai maʻamau a me nā hoʻopunipuni.
Ua ʻike paha ʻoe i nā mea hana i kahakaha ʻia ma Lowe's; nalowale ka hapa nui i loko o nā pahu friji hāmama, nā mea hoʻomehana wai e kahe ana a me nā pahu ʻole, a me nā mea holoi kīʻaha me nā ʻala casserole kānalua. ʻAʻole mea maʻamau ka hoʻēmi ʻana i nā mea i hōʻino ʻia, akā ke lilo nei i mea kakaikahi i ka hoʻi ʻana mai o nā hale kūʻai a kākau paha i nā mea i hōʻino ʻia. Akā hiki nō iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i kekahi mau hemahema ma Lowe's ma ka ʻimi ʻana i nā ʻeke hana hou. Wahi a Collin o ka blog kūʻai Hip2Save, ʻo nā ʻeke he mau ʻeke palaki maopopo ia a nā hui e hoʻokomo ai i ka wā e haki ai ka ʻeke mua, a ninini ka mortar, mulch a i ʻole topsoil ma luna o ka papahele.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke mālama i ka 10% ma nā mea i loko o kahi ʻeke hana hou, ʻaʻohe mea nui ka nui o ka ninini ʻana, akā hiki iā ʻoe ke mālama a hiki i ka 50%. Hele hou aku kekahi mau hale kūʻai, kūʻai aku i nā mea i hoʻokahe ʻia no hoʻokahi kālā, a i ʻole e hoʻohui iā lākou i loko o nā pallets a kūʻai aku iā lākou no ka aneane ʻole. ʻAʻole hoʻolaha ʻo Lowe i kahi kulekele no nā uku hoʻēmi ma nā mea i loko o nā ʻeke hana hou, akā hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻiliʻili i kekahi mau kikoʻī mai nā pou a me nā loiloi ma nā pūnaewele e like me Tomtoville. Akā i ka hopena, me he mea lā ua kau wale kēia mau lāʻau i ka hale kūʻai, no laila e ʻokoʻa paha kāu mileage.
Inā makemake ʻoe i 700 mau mea kau ʻūlū a i ʻole 1200 paona o ke one, he manaʻo maikaʻi mau ia e kūʻai nui, e like me ka papahana Lowe's Buy In Bulk i kapa maikaʻi ʻia ʻo Lowe. Akā, ʻaʻole ia ka mea a mākou e kamaʻilio nei ma ʻaneʻi. ʻAʻole, ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i ka leʻaleʻa a me ka hoʻokele waiwai o ke kūʻai ʻana i nā mea nui a me ka mālama ʻana iā lākou ma kahi o ke kūʻai ʻana i kahi puʻu o nā mea liʻiliʻi. ʻO kahi hihia: Inā ʻoe ma ka mākeke no kahi koʻokoʻo wili hapalua ʻīniha (ʻaʻole anei mākou a pau?), hiki iā ʻoe ke uku a hiki i $2.68 no ka wāwae no ka lōʻihi o 1, 2, a me 3 kapuaʻi. Akā, aia kahi ʻāpana strut o ka ʻoihana uila kahi e ʻike ai ʻoe i nā pou 10 kapuaʻi no $16.98, a i ʻole $1.70 no ka wāwae. E makaʻala: ʻaʻole hana mau kēia. ʻOi aku ke kumukūʻai o kahi pou 10′⅜” no ka wāwae ma mua o 2′ a me 6′ ka lōʻihi.
Hiki ke loaʻa nā mālama kālā o kēia nui ma nā wahi āpau ma Lowe's: Hiki iā ʻoe ke kiʻi i kahi paipu PVC 2 kapuaʻi no $13.15, a i ʻole kahi paipu 10 kapuaʻi no $21.91. Pēlā nō hoʻi i nā papa pōkole, hapaha plywood. ʻOiaʻiʻo, inā ʻo nā mea āu e pono ai he ʻāpana ʻelua kapuaʻi o ka mea PVC 2″ 40, hiki iā ʻoe ke mālama i $9 ma ke koho ʻana i ka paipu pōkole. Aia kēia hoʻolālā i ka pinepine o kou hoʻomaka ʻana e pono i nā helu nui aʻe.
Ua ʻike paha ʻoe i ka lāʻau ʻino loa o Lowe no ke kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa ma ka ʻoihana logging, a ua ʻike paha ʻoe e ʻoki lākou i ka lāʻau pipiʻi nou. Akā ua ʻike anei ʻoe hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i ka lāʻau pipiʻi a kekahi no ka liʻiliʻi a i ʻole ka mea ʻole ke waiho kekahi i kahi ʻōpala? E like me Home Depot, ʻo ia ka mea e hana ʻia ke kūʻai aku kahi mea kūʻai aku a Lowe i ka lāʻau no ka manawa mua a me ka manawa hope loa, a i ʻole i ka wā he nui ke kālā o kekahi ʻaʻole lākou e hopohopo e mālama i ka hapalua o kahi ʻāpana lāʻau. E like me ka ʻōlelo a Aisle of Shame, ʻo ke kumukūʻai o ka plywood ma kahi o $60. Ma muli o ka mea āu e nīnau ai, hiki i ka ʻōpala o kekahi ke lilo i kāu ... ʻoi aku ka pipiʻi o ka lāʻau.
Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole paha kēia kāu koho maikaʻi loa ma ke ʻano o ka pono. Ke launa pū ʻoe me ka luna ma ke kahua (ma o ka hana lima ʻana e Hunts), hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa pinepine mai nā lāʻau manuahi like ʻole i ʻoki ʻia ma nā kahua kūkulu. E komo pū kēia me nā ʻokiʻoki, akā ʻo nā papa hoʻi i hiki ʻole ke hoʻohana ʻia (no kā lākou mau kumu), a i kekahi manawa kūʻai wale lākou i nā papa he nui.
I kekahi manawa e ʻike ʻoe i nā hōʻike e hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa nā mea kanu manuahi mai Lowe's no ka mea ua waiho kekahi mau hale kūʻai i kā lākou mau mea kanu i kākau ʻia (ma mua paha o nā makahiki i kūʻai ʻia aku) i loko o ka ʻōpala no ka poʻe e lawe aku. Me he mea lā e kūʻē ana kēia i ke kulekele o ka hui ʻo Lowe, ʻoiai inā loaʻa iā ʻoe ka ʻae, a ua kokoke loa ia i ka hana kū ʻole i ke kānāwai o ka "propllifting," kahi e hoʻonui ai ka poʻe i kekahi mau mea kanu i hoʻolei ʻia i loko o nā mea kanu hou.
ʻO ka mea āu e loaʻa pinepine ai, ʻo ia nā mea kanu ipu hao plastik, a me nā pallets a lākou e hoʻouna ʻia ai. He mea maikaʻi kēia no ka hoʻoulu ʻana, a he papahana hana hou ko Lowe's e mālama ai iā lākou mai nā ʻōpala. ʻOiaʻiʻo, e lawe lākou i nā ipu mai nā mea kanu i kūʻai ʻia ma kahi ʻē. Loaʻa pinepine kēia mau ipu a me nā pā no ka manuahi ma Lowe's a me Home Depot (ma o Mavis Butterfield lāua ʻo Brie ma TerraForums). Ma kekahi mau hale kūʻai, he hoʻokūkū loa kēia mau huahana, no laila e nānā mua a pinepine.
Wahi a ka LBM Journal, ʻoiai ma mua o ka nele o ka maʻi ahulau, ua emi iho ka maikaʻi o ka lāʻau, no laila ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ke koho ʻana i kahi papa maikaʻi mai ka puʻu lāʻau o Lowe ma mua o ka wā ma mua. ʻO ke kūʻai ʻana i ka lāʻau i kūlou ʻia, kūlou ʻia, ʻoki ʻia, kīʻaha ʻia, wili ʻia, latticed a i ʻole māwae ʻia e hana i nā ʻōpala hou aʻe e hoʻonui ai i kāu mau kumukūʻai. Ma ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ke koho ʻana i ka lāʻau ma ka hale kūʻai, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopau i nā pilikia he nui o ka warping.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke noiʻi i nā papa lāʻau me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kumuwaiwai e like me ka primer maikaʻi loa a Thomas Publishing, akā ʻaʻole e haʻi pono nā papa iā ʻoe i ka warping, ʻo ka mea wale nō āu e hana ai, ʻo ia ke nānā i nā papa, ʻōlelo aʻo ʻo Brett McKay o The Arts iā Manly. ʻO ka mea mua, e nānā i ka papa no nā māwae (ʻike wale ʻia nā māwae ma waena o ka papa), nā māhele (nā māwae a puni ka papa), ka wobble (ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana ma nā apo ulu), a me nā puʻupuʻu paʻa ʻole e hāʻule paha. E nānā i ke kiʻi ma luna a nānā i lalo (a i ʻole "laina o ka ʻike") i lalo o ka lōʻihi o ka papa e nānā i kekahi o kēia mau pilikia. ʻO ka mea hope loa, e nānā i nā telomeres a hoʻolei i nā papa kahi e ʻike ai ʻoe i nā apo ulu poepoe piha, no ka mea, ʻo ka pale ʻana i ka pith/heartwood he ala maikaʻi ia e pale aku ai i ka warping i ka wā e hiki mai ana (ma o ka blog Growit BuildIt).
ʻO kahi ala maopopo e mālama ai i ke kālā, ʻo ia ka hana maʻamau o ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā mea āu e "pono ​​ai" me kahi mea ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ke kumukūʻai a i ʻole ka loaʻa koke. I ka wā e pili ana i nā mea hana, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaopopo i nā mālama kālā koke a nui ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā koho ʻē aʻe ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi akā ikaika, ma mua o ke kūʻai ʻana i nā mea hana kūikawā pipiʻi e hoʻohana hoʻokahi a mālama mau loa. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i nā pani ma ka home a i ʻole ma ka hale hana i kēlā me kēia manawa, e like me ka pani mea hana (i kekahi manawa lapuwale) i manaʻo ʻia e Sparetoolz, akā e ʻimi i nā pani ma nā ʻaelike ʻelua a Lowe a hoʻomaikaʻi i nā koho i loaʻa iā ʻoe.
E noʻonoʻo i ka pono koke a me ka hiki ʻole ke pale ʻia e hana i kahi lua poepoe i loko o kahi ʻāpana lāʻau. Hāʻawi ʻo Lowe i nā ala maikaʻi he nui e hana ai i kēia (nā wili spade, nā ʻāpana forstner, a me nā ʻoki lua), a malia paha kekahi mau mea maikaʻi ʻole (e like me nā burrs carbide). Loaʻa i kēia mau mea kā lākou hoʻohana ponoʻī: nā ʻō a me nā augers (nā ʻāpana spiral a helical paha no nā lua nui a haumia e hiki ke hele ma waena a hapa paha ma waena o kahi papa); Nā ʻāpana Foster no nā lua maʻemaʻe ma lalo; a me nā ʻoki lua, hiki ke ʻoki wale ʻia ma ka papa hoʻokahi (ma o Empire Abrasives). E ʻōlelo kākou e pono ʻoe i kahi lua 1″ ma o kahi papa 2 × 4. E nānā i kēia mau koho wili ʻekolu mai Lowe, a ʻo nā ʻāpana spade kokoke i ka hapalua o ke kumukūʻai o nā koho pipiʻi loa - maikaʻi ke ʻike inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei e mālama i ke kālā.
ʻO ka ʻōlelo pololei, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā ʻano lipine a me nā mea paʻa i loko o kahi hale kūʻai lako ma mua o nā hōkū ma ka Milky Way, ʻaʻole paha he ʻoiaʻiʻo loa, akā no ka mea ʻaʻole hiki i ko mākou lolo ke hoʻomaopopo piha iā ia, he mea kūpono paha ke ʻōlelo. I kekahi manawa ua paʻa ʻoe i ka ʻimi ʻana i kahi mea kikoʻī, kikoʻī loa, e like me ke kila kila ¾” reverse thread ¼-28 socket head cap bolt. (Aloha nui!) Akā i nā manawa he nui, e hana maikaʻi nā koho ʻē aʻe, a mālama pinepine iā ʻoe i ke kālā i ke kaʻina hana. (E hoʻomanaʻo, i ka wā e ʻimi ai i nā mea pani, nā nati, nā bolts, a me nā metala ʻē aʻe a lākou e launa pū ai e pono e hoʻohālikelike ʻia e pale aku i ka palaho galvanic, ʻōlelo ʻo APP Manufacturing.
ʻO kahi mea āu e ʻike ai iā ʻoe iho e hana pinepine ana i ka honua DIY ʻo ia ka wehe ʻana, ka wili ʻana, a me ka mālama ʻana i nā kaula hoʻolōʻihi. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake a hoʻohana i ke ʻano kaulahao no ka mālama ʻana i kāu kaula (ma o ka Wirecutter), hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopau me kahi wili a pono nui i kahi kaula a puni. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Velcro no kēia hana; Kūʻai aku ʻo Lowe i ʻekolu mau ʻeke o 12″ no $3.98. Akā e hoʻāʻo i kekahi mau lipine pena polū āu i loaʻa mua. He paʻa loa ia, ʻaʻole e waiho i ke koena pipili, a loaʻa iā ʻoe he 720 mau manawa o ka (60″) ka lōʻihi e kāʻei i nā kaula ʻekolu i ka manawa hoʻokahi. ʻAʻohe palena o nā pani; e nānā i kekahi o nā wikiō Tips and Tricks Youtube no nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo hou aku.
Ke noʻonoʻo mākou i nā mea hana ʻē aʻe, manaʻo pinepine mākou i ka kuke ʻana. ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻololi mau ʻia nā mea hoʻomaikaʻi home. He pilikia palekana kēia a no laila he pilikia code hale. ʻO nā koho e like me ka "laina lahilahi" a i ʻole ka "paipu DWV ma kahi o 40" ʻaʻole ia he mau koho, ke hana nei lākou i ka pōʻino. Akā ua ʻae ʻia kekahi mau koho ʻē aʻe (ka nui a me ka maikaʻi). I ka makahiki 1970, ua hoʻomohala ʻia kahi ʻano hana hoʻopili e hoʻohana ana i ka lāʻau liʻiliʻi (i kapa mua ʻia ʻo "best value engineering", ma hope ua hoʻololi ʻia i "premium framing" e kekahi mau mea kūʻai aku kūpono), e ʻae ana i kahi kikowaena waena 24″ no ka ukana - Hoʻohana nā paia e halihali ana i nā ukana a me nā paia ʻē aʻe i nā papa liʻiliʻi, e like me ka USDA Forest Products Laboratory. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i kahi ala like (no ka laʻana, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka 2 × 3 ma kahi o 2 × 4) e hōʻemi i ke kumukūʻai o nā papahana he nui.
ʻAʻole wale ia e pili ana i ka lāʻau. No ka laʻana, kūʻai aku ʻo Lowe's i ka paipu hao ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻonaninani (he pani ia no nā lako hale), akā ʻo ke kumukūʻai o ka paipu 10 kapuaʻi he $45.92, a no nā papahana ʻaʻole hilinaʻi nui, hiki iā ʻoe ke noʻonoʻo i ka PVC pena ʻia a i ʻole ka ikaika o ka paipu uea.
Inā ʻike kekahi i ka mana o ka pani ʻana, ʻo ia ke kaiāulu DIY. Eia kahi laʻana. I ka wā mua o ka .com boom, he mea pono nā papa keʻokeʻo e uhi i nā paia o ka ʻoihana. ʻAʻole ʻoe i ʻike i ka wā e hiki mai ai kahi hoʻolālā nui e pono ai kahi kiʻi 200-kapuaʻi kuea. Ua ʻike koke nā ʻoihana liʻiliʻi he kūpono ʻole ke kumukūʻai ma kā lākou pāpale mākeke $200 miliona, no laila ua ʻike kekahi poʻe akamai e hiki i nā panela ʻauʻau ke hana i nā papa keʻokeʻo like a ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi, inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e hopohopo e pili ana i nā mea e like me ka "paʻa." "A me ka "Holoi". ʻOiaʻiʻo, hana mau kēia i kēia lā, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e pena i kēlā me kēia ʻīniha kuea me lākou, e like me ka hōʻike ʻana o Fairy Dust Teaching.
ʻO nā manaʻo ʻē aʻe e pili ana i ka pena ʻana i kahi paia ma kahi o ka hoʻopukapuka kālā ʻana i kahi pale projector (ma o Projector Central), a i ʻole ka hana ʻana i kahi pale ʻōmaʻomaʻo DIY i hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻike i kou ʻohana e hoʻomaha ana ma ka mahina. I kekahi manawa kūpono kahi pani, e like me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka 100% silicone caulk ma kahi o kahi meaʻai no ka hana ʻana i nā ʻōmole (ma o Instructables).
Ma muli o nā wahi āu e komo hewa ai ma Pinterest, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa maʻalahi i kahi ʻoihana holoʻokoʻa i makemake nui ʻia e mālama kālā ma ka hana ʻana i nā mea ponoʻī, kūʻai pinepine ʻia mai nā hale kūʻai hoʻomaikaʻi home nui. Wahi a Chalk & Apples lāua ʻo Fstoppers, ʻike ʻia nā mea paʻi kiʻi, nā mea paʻi wikiō a me nā kumu no ka mālama kālā DIY i nā moʻomeheu i mahalo ʻole i ka hoʻonaʻauao a i ʻole hana i nā wikiō Minecraft no YouTube, no laila he nui nā mea hiki ke hana. No ka laʻana, e nānā i kēia kūkākūkā kikoʻī loa e hoʻoholo ana he mea maikaʻi loa ka lipine sila kaula PTFE (a he haʻahaʻa ke kumukūʻai!) ke kaulike keʻokeʻo no nā mea paʻi kiʻi (ma o FastRawViewer). A i ʻole e hoʻāʻo i kēia kua, kahi e hoʻohana pono ai i ka plunger lua haʻahaʻa loa (ma o ke kiʻi DIY).
I ka wā e pili ana i nā mea nui, ua nele pinepine nā mea hoʻokani pila, i kekahi manawa he "ʻoihana" wale nō no ka mea e hoʻolilo lākou i ke kālā ma nā mea āpau, a he moʻomeheu DIY olakino a waiwai hoʻi kā lākou, e like me kekahi o Lowe's. Inā luhi kou talena leo i ka huki ʻia ʻana i loko o ka lumi lole e like me kāu ipo kāne papa 10 i ka wā e hoʻi koke mai ai koʻu makuahine i ka home, hōʻike ʻo macProVideo i kekahi mau koho ʻē aʻe i nā lumi hoʻokaʻawale leo pipiʻi, e like me ke kāʻei ʻana iā lākou i loko o nā pākeke hoʻopaʻa. Hiki iā ʻoe ke pale leo i kahi lumi holoʻokoʻa me ka insulation huluhulu pōhaku.
I kēia manawa, hiki i nā mea pena kiʻi ke loaʻa nā lako e pono ai lākou ʻoiai e noho mamao ana mai ka pahu ʻōpala me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo mai nā makasina e like me Artspace Magazine, e like me ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana i ka canvas pena kiʻi makepono mai ka canvas.
Ua piʻi aʻe nā koho ʻē aʻe DIY i ka hana hoʻolimalima mea hana a loaʻa i kēia manawa ma nā wahi he nui o Lowe. ʻO ka hoʻolimalima mea hana ke kaʻina hana āu e hoʻomaka ai i kahi papahana maʻa ʻole a hoʻolimalima ma mua o ke kūʻai ʻana i kekahi o nā mea hana pipiʻi e pono ai. E hoʻolālā pono. Hiki ke paʻakikī ka hoʻolimalima ʻana i nā mea hana maʻamau, no laila pono ʻoe e hoʻonohonoho i kāu mau papahana i ka wā hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻolimalima i nā mea hana āu e pono ai. Makemake pū ʻoe e hōʻoia e hana ana kekahi mea hana āu e hoʻolimalima nei, a inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i hoʻohana ma mua, pono ʻoe e aʻo pehea e hoʻohana palekana ai. Eia nō naʻe, e manaʻo i ka mālama kālā a hiki i ka 2% i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ke kūʻai pololei ʻana i ka mea hana.
Wahi a O'Reilly Auto Parts, no kekahi mau mea hana, hiki iā ʻoe ke noʻonoʻo i kāu hale kūʻai ʻāpana kaʻa kūloko, kahi e loaʻa pinepine ai nā mea hōʻaiʻē mea hana manuahi (me kahi waihona nui). ʻO ka hapa nui o kēia mau mea hana he kikoʻī ia no nā hoʻoponopono aunoa, akā ʻo kekahi (e like me nā pamu vacuum) he kūpono hoʻi no nā kūlana hoʻomaikaʻi home.
No nā mea pā e hele ana i Lowe's me ka ʻike ʻole i ke kumukūʻai a lākou e uku ai, hāʻawi ka hale kūʻai i kahi papahana hoʻohālikelike kumukūʻai kokoke i ka noʻonoʻo e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ke kumukūʻai haʻahaʻa loa āu e ʻike ai ma waena o ka hoʻokūkū.
