He maha ngā huarahi hei penapena moni i Lowe's. Ngā utu o te rā, ngā utu taputapu, ngā hoko rakuraku, ngā hekenga peita atomized, ngā hoko whakakore utu, te Paraire Pango me te ono atu hoko ā-tau, ngā hekenga hōia, ngā ratonga tāutanga tino iti te utu…tae atu ki ngā hekenga ka whiwhi koe i ngā hoko ohaurunga auau — — he maha tonu ngā mea.
He pai katoa ēnei, engari kāore rawa he mea hei whakamanamana i tētahi pāti. Kāo, kia miharo ai te hunga e haere mai ana ki te pāti poraka i runga i ā rātou mīhini tapahi tarutaru, me hack e koe te pūnaha i tētahi ara. Kāo, kaua e hack pērā i a Crash Override me Acid Burn e tawai ana ki te Ratonga Ngaro i roto i ngā Hackers. He kōrero anō mō ​​ngā hacks ora. Ko ētahi o ā mātou tohutohu he rautaki kāore i te tūtohutia, kāore i whakaaetia; ko ētahi e tautokona ana e Lowe's engari e kinongia ana e ngā kaimahi o Lowe; ā, ko ētahi he tirohanga hou ki ngā tohutohu me ngā tinihanga hokohoko noa.
Kua tūtaki pea koe ki ngā taputapu kua rakuraku i Lowe's; ko te nuinga ka ngaro i roto i ngā pouaka pouaka whakamātao tuwhera, i ngā whakamahana wai e turuturu ana, kāore anō kia pouakaa, me ngā mīhini horoi rihi he haunga kēhi whakamā. Ehara i te mea onge te whakaheke i ngā taonga kua pakaru, engari kei te onge haere i te mea ka hoki mai ngā toa, ka whakakorea rānei ngā taonga kua pakaru. Engari ka taea tonu e koe te hoko i ētahi hapa i Lowe's mā te rapu putea hangarua. E ai ki a Collin o te blog hokohoko Hip2Save, ko ngā putea he putea kirihou mārama ka tukuna e ngā kamupene ki roto ina pakaru te putea taketake, ā, ka maringi te moata, te mulch, te oneone rānei ki runga i te papa.
Ka taea e koe te penapena 10% i runga i ngā taonga i roto i te putea hangarua, ahakoa te nui o te mea i maringi, engari ka taea hoki e koe te penapena tae atu ki te 50%. Ko ētahi toa ka haere tonu, ka hoko i ngā mea i maringi mō te tāra kotahi, ka whakakotahi rānei i a rātou ki roto i ngā papa ka hoko noa atu mō te kore utu. Kāore a Lowe's e pānuitia ana he kaupapa here mō ngā hekenga utu mō ngā taonga i roto i ngā putea hangarua, engari ka taea e koe te kohi i ētahi taipitopito mai i ngā pou me ngā arotake i runga i ngā pae pēnei i a Tomtoville. Engari i te mutunga, ko ēnei maimoatanga te āhua nei kei te toa katoa, nō reira ka rerekē pea tō hua.
Mena ka hiahia koe ki ngā whakairi pou e 700, ki te 1200 pauna onepu rānei, he mea pai tonu te hoko nui, pērā i te kaupapa Hokona Nui a Lowe. Engari ehara tēnā i te mea e kōrerohia ana i konei. Kāore, e kōrero ana mātou mō te ngahau me te ōhanga o te hoko taonga nui me te pupuri motuhake i a rātou, kaua ki te hoko i ngā taonga iti. Hei tauira: Mena kei te rapu koe i tētahi tokotoko miro hawhe inihi (kāore ianei tātou katoa?), ka taea e koe te utu ki te $2.68 ia putu mō te roa 1, 2, me te 3 putu. Engari he wāhanga pou kei te tari hiko ka kitea e koe ngā pou 10-putu mō te $16.98, $1.70 rānei ia putu. Kia tūpato: kāore tēnei e mahi i ngā wā katoa. He nui ake te utu o te pou 10⅜” ia putu i te 2′ me te 6′ te roa.
Kei ngā wāhi katoa o Lowe's ngā penapena o tēnei rahi: Ka taea e koe te tiki i tētahi paipa PVC 2-putu te roa mō te $13.15, i tētahi paipa 10-putu rānei mō te $21.91. Pērā anō hoki mō ngā papa poto, ngā papa rakau hauwhā. Ae, ki te mea he rauemi PVC 2″ 40 te roa e hiahiatia ana e koe, ka taea e koe te penapena $9 mā te tiki i te ngongo poto. Ka whakawhirinaki tēnei rautaki ki te auau o te tīmatanga o te hiahia ki ngā tau nui ake.
E mōhio ana pea koe ki te rakau kino rawa atu a Lowe mō te utu iti i roto i te tari poro rakau, ā, e mōhio ana pea koe ka tapahia e rātou he rakau utu nui māu. Engari i mōhio koe ka taea e koe te hoko rakau utu nui a tētahi atu mō te iti rawa, te kore rawa rānei, ina waiho e tētahi he para? Pērā i a Home Depot, koinei te āhua o te mea ka tupu ina hoko rakau te kiritaki Lowe mō te wā tuatahi me te wā whakamutunga, ina rānei he nui te moni a tētahi, kāore e aro ki te pupuri i te haurua o te rau rakau. E ai ki a Aisle of Shame, ko te utu o te papa rakau he $60 pea. I runga i te tangata e pātai atu ai koe, ka taea e te para a tētahi atu te huri hei para māu…ina koa he tino utu nui te rakau.
Heoi, kāore pea tēnei e pai rawa atu mōu ina whakaarohia te whai huatanga. Kia noho hoa koe ki te kaiwhakahaere i te papa mahi (mā te mahi toi a Hunts), ka taea e koe te tiki mai i ngā momo rakau kore utu i paraia i ngā papa hanga. Kei roto i ēnei ko ngā papa tapahi, engari ko ngā papa kāore e taea te whakamahi (mō ā rātou mahi), ā, i ētahi wā ka nui rawa ngā papa e hokona ana e rātou.
Ka kite pea koe i ētahi pūrongo e kī ana ka taea e koe te tiki tipu kore utu mai i Lowe's nā te mea ka maka e ētahi toa ā rātou tipu kua whakakorea (tērā pea i tua atu i ngā tipu ā-tau kua hokona) ki roto i te ipu para kia taea ai e te tangata te tango atu. Te āhua nei he takahi tēnei i te kaupapa here a te kamupene a Lowe, ahakoa kua whiwhi whakaaetanga koe, ā, he tata tonu ki te mahi ture kore o te "whakatipu tipu," e whakanuia ana e te tangata ētahi tipu kua makahia ki roto i ngā tipu hou.
Ko ngā mea e wātea ana ki a koe ko ngā tipu kohua kirihou, me ngā papareti e tukuna ana ki roto. He pai ēnei mō te whakatipu, ā, he kaupapa hangarua tā Lowe's e ārai ana i a rātou ki te urupā whenua. Inaa, ka tangohia e rātou ngā kohua mai i ngā tipu i hokona mai i hea atu. Ko ēnei kohua me ngā paepae he mea wātea noa iho i Lowe's me Home Depot (mā Mavis Butterfield me Brie i TerraForums). I ētahi toa, he tino whakataetae ēnei hua, nō reira tirohia wawe, me te maha o ngā wā.
E ai ki te LBM Journal, i mua noa atu i te korenga o te mate urutā, kua heke te kounga o ngā rakau, nō reira he mea nui ake te mārama ki te whiriwhiri i tētahi papa pai mai i te puranga rakau a Lowe. Ko te hoko rakau kua piko, kua piko, kua piko, kua porotaka, kua miro, kua whatuwhatu, kua pakaru rānei ka nui ake te para ka piki ake ō utu. Mā te mārama ki te whiriwhiri rakau i roto i te toa, ka taea e koe te whakakore i te maha o ngā tūponotanga piko.
Heoi anō, ka taea e koe te rangahau i ngā momo rakau mā te whakamahi i ngā rauemi pēnei i te pukapuka matua pai a Thomas Publishing, engari kāore ngā momo e whakaatu i te piko o te papa, ko tāu noa he titiro ki ngā papa, e ai ki tā Brett McKay o The Arts tohutohu ki a Manly. Tuatahi, tirohia te papa mō ngā kapiti (ka puta noa ngā kapiti i waenganui o te papa), ngā pakaru (ngā kapiti puta noa i te papa), te wiri (te wehenga i ngā mowhiti tipu), me ngā pona kore pumau ka taka pea. Tirohia te pikitia i runga ake nei ka titiro ki raro (te "rārangi tirohanga" rānei) ki raro i te roa o te papa hei tirotiro i ēnei take. Hei whakamutunga, tirohia ngā telomere ka maka atu i ngā papa katoa ka kitea ngā mowhiti tipu porowhita katoa, nā te mea he huarahi pai te karo i te pith/heartwood hei karo i te piko a muri ake nei (mā te blog Growit BuildIt).
Ko tētahi huarahi tino pai ki te penapena moni ko te mahi tawhito o te whakakapi i ngā taonga e "hiahiatia ana" e koe ki tētahi mea iti ake te utu, e wātea ana rānei. Mō ngā taputapu, ka taea e koe te whiwhi penapena tere me te nui mā te whakamahi i ngā huarahi rerekē iti ake te utu engari he kaha, kaua ki te hoko taputapu motuhake utu nui hei whakamahi kotahi, ā, hei penapena ake tonu atu. Ka taea e koe te whakakapi i te kāinga, i te awheawhe rānei i ngā wā katoa, pērā i te whakakapinga taputapu (he kuware i ētahi wā) i tūtohutia e Sparetoolz, engari rapua ngā whakakapinga i roto i ngā kirimana e rua a Lowe, me te whakapai ake i ngā kōwhiringa e wātea ana ki a koe.
Whakaarohia te hiahia ohorere me te kore e taea te karo ki te hanga i tētahi kōhao porohita i roto i tētahi wahi rakau. He maha ngā huarahi pai a Lowe's hei mahi i tēnei (ngā wiri hāpara, ngā mata forstner, me ngā kani kōhao), me ētahi atu mea kino pea (pērā i ngā pūwero carbide). He whakamahinga anō ō ēnei: ​​ngā koko me ngā auger (ngā mata porowhita, ngā mata porowhita rānei mō ngā kōhao nui, paru ka taea te haere mā roto, mā roto rānei i tētahi papa); ngā mata whāngai mō ngā kōhao papatahi; me ngā kani kōhao, ka taea anake te tapahi i runga i te papa kotahi (mā Empire Abrasives). Me kī tātou me hiahia koe ki tētahi kōhao 1″ mā roto i tētahi papa 2×4. Tirotirohia ēnei kōwhiringa keri e toru mai i Lowe, ā, tata ki te haurua te utu o ngā mata hāpara o ngā kōwhiringa tino utu nui—he mea pai ki te mōhio mēnā kei te rapu koe ki te penapena moni.
He pono, he nui ake ngā momo rīpene me ngā whakapiri i roto i te toa taputapu i ngā whetū o te Milky Way, kāore pea i te tino pono, engari nā te mea kāore e taea e ō tātou roro te mārama katoa, he tika pea te kī. I ētahi wā ka noho koe ki te rapu i tētahi mea motuhake, tino motuhake, pērā i te pūtu taupoki upoko maitai kore waikura ¾” te miro whakamuri ¼-28. (Kia ora!) Engari i roto i te nuinga o ngā wā, ka pai te mahi a ētahi atu, ā, he maha ngā wā ka penapena moni koe i roto i te tukanga. (Kia mahara, i te wā e rapu ana koe i ngā whakakapinga, me taurite ngā nati, ngā pūtu, me ētahi atu konganuku e pa ana ki a rātou kia kore ai e waikura te konukōre, e ai ki te tūtohutanga a APP Manufacturing.
Kotahi te mea ka kitea e koe e mahi ana i ngā wā katoa i roto i te ao DIY ko te wetewete, te takai, me te penapena i ngā taura toronga. Ki te kore koe e pai ki te tikanga mekameka hei penapena i tō taura (mā te Wirecutter), tera pea ka mutu koe me te koiri me te hiahia nui ki te whitiki huri noa. Ka taea te whakamahi i te Velcro mō tēnei mahi; e toru ngā kete 12″ a Lowe's mō te $3.98. Engari ngana ki ētahi rīpene peita kikorangi kua riro pea i a koe. He tino pakari, kāore e waiho he toenga piri, ā, ka whiwhi koe i te 720 ngā wā o te (60″) te roa hei takai i ngā taura neke atu i te toru i te wā kotahi. He mutunga kore ngā whakakapinga; tirohia tetahi o ngā ataata Youtube Tohutohu me ngā Tinihanga mō ētahi atu tohutohu.
Ina whakaaro tātou ki ngā rauemi rerekē, ko te tunu kai te mea nui. Kāore e taea te whakakapi i ngā mea whakapaipai kāinga i ngā wā katoa. He take haumaru tēnei, nō reira he take ture hanga whare. Ehara i te mea he kōwhiringa ngā kōwhiringa pēnei i te "raina angiangi" me te "paipa DWV hei utu mō te 40″, engari he aituā. Engari he pai ētahi atu kōwhiringa (te rahinga me te kounga). I ngā tau 1970, i whakawhanakehia he tikanga anga e whakamahi ana i te iti o te rakau (i te tuatahi i huaina ko te "hangarau uara pai", i muri mai ka hurihia ki te "hanganga utu nui" e ētahi kaihokohoko whai whakaaro), e āhei ana te anga pokapū 24″ mō te kawenga - Ko ngā pakitara e mau ana i te kawenga me ētahi atu pakitara e whakamahi ana i ngā papa iti ake, e ai ki te USDA Forest Products Laboratory. Ka taea e koe te whakamahi i tētahi huarahi ōrite (hei tauira, te whakamahi i te 2×3 hei utu mō te 2×4) hei whakaiti i te utu o ngā kaupapa maha.
Ehara i te mea ko te rakau anake te mea nui. Hei tauira, ka hokona e Lowe's he paipa rino hei rauemi whakapaipai (he whakakapinga mō ngā tāonga whare), engari ko te utu mō te paipa 10-putu te roa he $45.92, ā, mō ngā kaupapa kāore e tino whakawhirinaki ana ki tēnei, ka taea e koe te whakaaro ki te PVC peita, ki te kaha rānei o te paipa waea.
Mena kei te mōhio tetahi ki te mana o te whakakapinga, ko te hapori DIY. Anei tētahi tauira. I te puāwaitanga taketake o .com, he mea nui ngā papa ma hei uhi i ngā pakitara o te kamupene. Kāore koe e mōhio ana āhea ka puta mai he mahere nui e hiahia ana ki tētahi hoahoa 200-putu tapawha. I kitea wawetia e ngā pakihi iti he koretake te utu mō tā rātou uara mākete iti noa iho $200 miriona, nō reira i kitea e ētahi tohunga mohio ka taea e ngā panera kaukau te hanga papa ma rite tonu, he iti ake te utu, mena kāore koe e manukanuka ki ngā mea pēnei i te "roa." " me te "Muku". Ae ra, kei te mahi tonu tēnei i ēnei rā, ahakoa kāore koe e peita i ia inihi tapawha ki a rātou, e ai ki te Fairy Dust Teaching.
Ko ētahi atu whakaaro ko te peita i te pakitara, kaua e haumi ki te mata whakaataata (mā Projector Central), te hanga rānei i tētahi mata matomato DIY kia taea ai e koe te whakaatu i tō whānau e hararei ana i te marama. I ētahi wā he pai te whakakapi, pērā i te whakamahi i te 100% silicone caulk hei whakakapi i tētahi tunu mō te hanga pokepoke (mā Instructables).
I runga i te momo rauemi o Pinterest e uru atu ana koe, ka kitea e koe he umanga katoa e hiahia ana ki te penapena moni mā te hanga mea māu ake, he maha ngā wā ka hokona mai i ngā toa whakapaipai whare nui. E ai ki a Chalk & Apples me Fstoppers, e mōhiotia ana ngā kaiwhakaahua, ngā kaiwhakaahua ataata me ngā kaiako mō ā rātou penapena DIY i roto i ngā ahurea kāore e aro nui ana ki te mātauranga, e hanga ataata Minecraft rānei mō YouTube, nō reira he maha ngā mea ka taea. Hei tauira, tirohia tēnei kōrero tino hohonu e whakatau ana ko te rīpene hiri miro PTFE he tohutoro taurite ma pai (ā, he iti hoki te utu!) mō ngā kaiwhakaahua (mā FastRawViewer). Whakamātauria rānei tēnei papamuri, e whakamahi auaha ana i te pūwero wharepaku tino iti (mā te whakaahua DIY).
Mō ngā kaupapa matua, he maha ngā wā kāore he pūtea a ngā kaiwaiata, he "ngaio" noa iho i ētahi wā nā te mea ka whakapau moni rātou ki ngā mea katoa, ā, he ahurea DIY hauora, whai rawa hoki tā rātou, pērā i ētahi o Lowe's. Mena kua hoha tō pūkenga reo ki te tōia ki roto i te kāpata pērā i tō hoa tāne o te tau 10 ina hoki wawe mai tō māmā ki te kāinga, ka tūtohu a macProVideo i ētahi atu huarahi hei whakakapi i ngā rūma wehe reo utu nui, pērā i te takai i a rātou ki roto i ngā paraikete tākai. Ka taea e koe te ārai i te oro o te rūma katoa ki te whakamarumaru huruhuru toka.
I taua wā tonu, ka taea e ngā kaitoi te tiki i ngā taputapu e hiahiatia ana e rātou me te noho tawhiti atu i te pouaka para mā te whakamahi i ngā tohutohu mai i ngā maheni pēnei i te Artspace Magazine, pēnei i te hanga kānawehi peita utu iti mai i te kānawehi.
Ko ngā huarahi DIY kua tino eke ki te taumata teitei i roto i te mahi reti taputapu, ā, kei te wātea inaianei i ngā wāhi maha o Lowe's. Ko te reti taputapu te tukanga e tīmata ai koe i tētahi kaupapa tauhou, ka reti, kaua e hoko i ētahi o ngā taputapu utu nui e hiahiatia ana. Whakamaherehia marietia. He uaua pea te reti i ngā taputapu noa, nō reira me whakarite e koe ō kaupapa i te wā e taea ai e koe te reti i ngā taputapu e hiahiatia ana e koe. Me whakarite hoki koe kei te mahi tetahi taputapu e reti ana koe, ā, ki te mea kāore anō kia whakamahia e koe i mua, me ako koe ki te whakamahi haumaru. Heoi anō, me tumanako ka penapenahia ki te 2% ki te whakaritea ki te hoko tonu i te taputapu.
E ai ki a O'Reilly Auto Parts, mō ētahi taputapu, ka taea hoki e koe te whakaaro ki tō toa wāhanga waka o te rohe, he maha ngā wā kei reira ngā kaituku taputapu kore utu (me te moni tāpui nui). Ko te nuinga o ēnei taputapu he mea hanga motuhake mō ngā whakatikatika aunoa, engari ko ētahi (pēnei i ngā papu korehau) he pai hoki mō ngā āhuatanga whakapaipai kāinga.
Mō ngā pā e haere ana ki Lowe's me te kore e mōhio ki te utu ka utua e rātou, ka tukuna e te toa he kaupapa whakataurite utu āhua pohewa e whakaatu ana i te utu iti rawa ka kitea e koe i roto i ngā whakataetae. Ko te nuinga o te whakataurite utu me whai taurite i ngā tau hua, koinei pea te raruraru. I ētahi wā ka hiahia ngā kaihokohoko nui ki ngā tauira rerekē o te hua kotahi hei karo i ngā here whakataurite utu, e ai ki a Cheapism. Kia tae ki te wā ka tirohia ngā whakakorenga katoa kua whakarārangihia, kua tata kore e taea te whakatutuki i te whakaritenga whakataurite utu, nō reira me whakawhirinaki koe ki te ngākau pai o te kaiutuutu, o ngā kaimahi ratonga kiritaki rānei, ko rātou te mana ki te whakatau i ēnei whakatau. Anei ētahi huarahi hei kimi i ngā whakataurite utu pai rawa atu, me pēhea te whakahaere.
E taunaki ana a Cheapism kia mauria mai e koe he taunakitanga mō te taurite utu, pērā i te pānui hokohoko, i tētahi whārangi tukutuku rānei i runga i tō waea. Ka taea hoki e koe te whakamahi i ngā ratonga pēnei i a PriceCase hei aroturuki i ngā utu hua takitahi mai i ō hoa whakataetae, me te whiwhi whakamōhiotanga ina puta ngā huringa nui. Ka kitea e BrickSeek ngā utu ā-rohe katoa mō tētahi hua motuhake, ā, ka whakaaturia ki a koe te utu iti rawa o nāianei i roto i ngā toa e tika ana mō te Lowe's Price Match.
Mena he tangata mātau koe, ā, kāore e taea e koe te patu i ō tipu, ka koa a Lowe's ki te mahi i tēnā māu, ā, ka hoatu he hekenga 50-90% hei tīmatanga! E ai ki a LowesEmployees.com, ko te whakakore i ngā tipu he kore whakainu noa iho, ā, ko te hunga whai whakaaro mātau noa iho, me taea e rātou te whakaora anō i a rātou. Kaua rawa e hoko i tētahi mea e āhua mate ana. Kei te wātea ngā tūnga tipu whakakore i waenga i te Rā Whakamaumaharatanga me te Rā Mahi.
Ko ngā tipu kua whakakorea te utu, kāore e taea te whakahoki mai, nō reira, ki te hiahia koe ki te whakahoki moni katoa, me patu e koe ngā tipu. Ko te rongo pai, e ai ki a Lowe's, he kaupapa here whakahoki 12-marama a Lowe's mō ngā rākau, ngā rakau iti me ētahi atu tipu ā-tau. Ki te patu koe i roto i te tau, ka tangohia e rātou me te kore e pātai. Ko ētahi atu hoko tipu ko te kaupapa here whakahoki 90-rā. E whakanui ana te kamupene me kawe mai e koe tō rīhiti.
He mea nui te whakahoki moni, ehara i te mea ko ngā pokapū māra anake, nō reira ahakoa kāore tēnei tohutohu e tino penapena moni māu, ka waiho he moni nui ake i roto i tō pēke i te mutunga o te kaupapa. Ko te mea ngaro? Hokohoko noa i Lowe's. Ko tētahi o ngā mea e pai ana ki ngā toa pouaka nui ki te whakataurite ki ngā toa pēnei i ngā kaihiko me ngā kaiwhakarato paramu ko te mea kāore ēnei toa e whakahoki mai i ngā taonga, i te iti rawa rānei, me te kore e utu i te utu tāpiri. Hei tauira, i roto i ngā kaiwhakarato hokohoko nui, ka utua e Ferguson he utu tāpiri mō ngā taonga. Ka whakaaetia e Quality Plumbing Supply ngā taonga whakahoki i roto i ngā rā 30, engari me whai Whakamanatanga Rauemi Whakahoki (RMA) koe; 15% te utu tāpiri i muri i ngā rā 15, 25% te utu tāpiri mena kāore he RMA āu, ā, kei te rārangihia e te pae ētahi mea nui kāore e hiahiatia. Me te rīhiti, te tikanga utu tika rānei kei te ringa, ka whakaaetia e Lowe's ngā taonga whakahoki me te kore he raruraru.
Tāpiri: Ki te mea kei te hiahia koe kia tirotirohia koe i Lowe's tonu, whakaarohia te ngana ki te tiki i tā rātou pūrongo whakahekenga utu mai i tētahi o ngā kaimahi. Kei roto i tēnei tuhinga rongonui, pea he pūrākau, ngā taonga katoa e hokona ana i roto i te toa, ā, ahakoa te mōhio ka taea e te tangata i roto i te koti kikorangi te tīmata tonu ki te waea atu ki te kaiwhakahaere mā te reo irirangi. Engari ki te angitu koe, me waiho te pūrongo whakahekenga utu hei penapena wā tino nui (mā LowesEmployees).
