Azikho ukushoda kwezindlela zokonga imali kwa-Lowe.Amadili osuku, amadili ezinto zikagesi, ukuthengiswa kwempahla, izaphulelo zikapende ezenziwe nge-athomu, ukuthengiswa kwemvume, uLwesihlanu Olumnyama kanye nohhafu weshumi nambili lezinye izindali zonyaka, izaphulelo zamasosha, izinsiza zokufaka ezishibhile ngokungabazekayo...ngisho nezaphulelo ozithola ekuthengeni okuphindelelayo — — uhlu luyaqhubeka.
Konke lokhu kuhle, kodwa ngokuqinisekile akukho engingaziqhenya ngakho ephathini.Cha, ukuze ujabule ngempela abantu ababonisa iphathi kumishini yokugunda utshani, kufanele ugqekeze uhlelo ngandlela thize.Cha, ungaligebeki njenge-Crash Override kanye ne-Acid Burn yahlekisa Isevisi Eyimfihlo kubaduni.Okwengeziwe mayelana nokugqekeza kwempilo.Amanye amathiphu ethu akhiwe ngaphandle kwelebula; abanye bagunyazwe ngokusemthethweni ngabakwaLowe kodwa bazondwa abasebenzi bakaLowe; futhi ezinye zintsha ukuthatha amathiphu namasu okuthenga avamile.
Cishe uhlangabezane nemishini eklwetshiwe kwa-Lowe; iningi lilahleka emabhokisini esiqandisi avulekile, izifudumezi zamanzi eziconsayo nezingenabhokisi, kanye nemishini yokugeza izitsha enephunga le-casserole elisolisayo.Izinto ezephulelo ezingalungiswanga azivamile, kodwa ziya zingavamile njengoba izitolo zibuya noma zibhala izinto ezilimele.Kodwa usengakwazi ukuthenga ukungapheleli okuthile kwaLowe ngokubheka izikhwama zokuthenga kabusha i-Hiplin ye-Hiplin yezitolo. ngokuvamile sula izikhwama zepulasitiki izinkampani ezizifakayo lapho isikhwama sokuqala siqhekeka, futhi udaka, umbozo noma inhlabathi engaphezulu uchithekela phansi.
Ungagcina u-10% ezintweni ezisesikhwameni sokugaywa kabusha, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuchitheka kangakanani, kodwa futhi ungakwazi ukonga kufika ku-50%.Ezinye izitolo ziya phambili, zithengisa ukuchitheka okugaywe kabusha ngedola, noma ukukuhlanganisa kube amaphalethi futhi kudayiswe cishe lutho.I-Lowe's ayikhangisi inqubomgomo mayelana nezaphulelo ezintweni ezisezikhwameni zokugaywa kabusha, kodwa ungabuyekeza imininingwane evela ku-Tomlean kumasayithi e-Tomlean. qeda lezi zindlela zokwelapha zibonakala zivumelana nesitolo ngokuphelele, ngakho-ke ibanga lakho lingahluka.
Uma kwenzeka udinga ama-joist hangers angu-700 noma amakhilogremu angu-1200 esihlabathi, kuwumqondo omuhle njalo ukuthenga ngobuningi, njengasohlelweni lukaLowe oluqanjwe ngokugqamile elithi Lowe's Buy In Bulk.Kodwa akukhona lokho esikhuluma ngakho lapha.Cha, sikhuluma ngobumnandi nomnotho wokuthenga izinto ezinkulu futhi uzigcine zihlukene uma uthengisa izinto ezincane esikhundleni sokuthenga izinto ezincane. ngenduku enemicu yesigamu-intshi (angithi sonke?), Ungakhokha kuze kufike ku-$2.68 ngonyawo ngobude bezinyawo ezingu-1, 2, no-3. Kodwa umnyango kagesi unesigaba se-strut lapho uzothola khona izigxobo ezingu-10 ngo-$ 16.98, noma i-$ 1.70 ngonyawo. Qaphela: lokhu akusebenzi ngaso sonke isikhathi.
Ukonga kwalo sayizi kungatholwa yonke indawo kwa-Lowe: Ungathola ipayipi le-PVC elingamamitha angu-2 ngo-$13.15, noma ipayipi elingamamitha angu-10 ngo-$21.91. Okufanayo kusebenza kumabhodi amafushane, i-quarter plywood. Yiqiniso, uma okudingayo nje ucezu oluyizinyawo ezimbili luka-2″ 40 wamathubhu we-PVC9 ngokuthatha ishubhu le-PVC9 elifushane kaningi. izinombolo ezinkulu.
Cishe uyawazi amapulangwe kaLowe ashibhile kakhulu ashibhile emnyangweni wokugawula imithi, futhi cishe uyazi ukuthi bazokugawula izingodo ezibizayo. Kodwa bewazi yini ukuthi ungakwazi ukuthenga izingodo ezibizayo zomunye umuntu ngentengo encane kakhulu noma ungathengi lutho lapho othile eshiya izingcezu? Njengase-Home Depot, lokhu ngokusobala yilokho okwenzekayo lapho ikhasimende lika-Lowe lithenga izingodo okokuqala nokokugcina, noma lapho othile ephethe amapulangwe eningi kangako. I-Ais​le of Shame iveza, i-plywood cishe i-$60. Kuye ngokuthi ubuza bani, udoti womunye umuntu ungaphenduka ube owakho...ikakhulukazi uma ukhuni lubiza kakhulu.
Kodwa-ke, lokhu kungase kungabi inketho yakho engcono kakhulu mayelana nokusebenza kahle.Uma usujwayelane nomphathi esizeni (ngokwenza i-crafting by Hunts), ungavame ukukuthola ezingodweni ezihlukahlukene zamahhala ezilahliwe ezindaweni zokwakha.Lokhu kuzohlanganisa ama-cutoffs, kodwa namabhodi angasebenziseki ngokuphelele (ngezinjongo zawo), futhi ngezinye izikhathi avele athenge amabhodi amaningi kakhulu.
Ngezinye izikhathi uzobona imibiko yokuthi ungathola izitshalo zamahhala kwa-Lowe ngenxa yokuthi ezinye izitolo zifaka izitshalo zazo ezisuliwe (mhlawumbe izikhathi ezidlule ezithengiswa ngonyaka) emgqonyeni ukuze abantu bawukhiphe. Lokhu kubonakala kungqubuzana nenqubomgomo yenkampani ka-Lowe, ngisho noma uthola imvume, futhi kuseduze kakhulu nomkhuba ongekho emthethweni “wokukhulisa,” lapho abantu baphindaphinda izinto ezitshalweni ezilahliwe.
Okuvame ukufinyelela kukho yizitshalo ezifakwe emabhodweni epulasitiki, kanye namaphalethi athunyelwa kuwo.Lawa mahle kakhulu ekuzaleni, futhi abakwa-Lowe banohlelo lokugaywa kabusha olubagcina bengangeni endaweni yokulahla imfucumfucu.Eqinisweni, bazothatha amabhodwe ezitshalweni ezithengwe kwenye indawo.Lezi zimbiza namathileyi ngokuvamile zitholakala mahhala kwa-Lowe's kanye nase-Home Depot (nge-Mavis Butterfield kukhona izitolo ezithile zase-BrieForum). ukuncintisana, ngakho hlola kusenesikhathi futhi kaningi.
Ngokusho kwe-LBM Journal, ngisho nangaphambi kokushoda kobhubhane, izinga lamapulangwe lase lehlile, ngakho ukuqonda indlela yokukhetha ipulangwe enqwabeni yezinkuni zikaLowe kuphuthuma kakhulu kunangaphambili.Ukuthenga izinkuni ezigobile, ezigobile, eziboshiwe, ezigoqiwe, ezisontekile, eziboshwe noma eziqhekekile kudala imfucuza eyengeziwe eyandisa izindleko zakho.
Yebo ungacwaninga amamaki okhuni usebenzisa izinsiza ezifana nesiqalo esihle kakhulu sika-Thomas Publishing, kodwa amamaki ngeke akutshele ukuthi u-waping, okudingeka ukwenze ngempela ukubheka amabhodi, u-Brett McKay we-The Arts weluleka u-Manly.Okokuqala, hlola ipulangwe ukuze libone ukuqhekeka (ukuqhekeka kuvela kuphela phakathi nepulangwe), ukuqhekeka (kuqhekeka yonke indlela ngokusebenzisa amapulangwe), amapulangwe anyakazayo ingase iwe.Bheka isithombe esingenhla bese ubheka phansi (noma “umugqa wokubona”) phansi ngobude bebhodi ukuze uhlole noma iyiphi yalezi zinkinga.Okokugcina, hlola ama-telomere futhi ulahle noma yimaphi amapulangwe lapho ungabona khona izindandatho ezikhula eziyindilinga ezigcwele, njengoba ukugwema i-pith/heartwood kuyindlela enhle yokugwema ukungqubuzana kwesikhathi esizayo (ngebhulogi ye-Growit BuildIt).
Indlela eqinisekile yokonga imali umkhuba ohlonishwayo isikhathi wokushintsha izinto “ozidingayo” ngokuthile okushibhile noma okutholakala kalula. Uma kuziwa emathuluzini, ungathola ukonga ngokushesha nangokukhulu ngokusebenzisa ezinye izindlela ezishibhile kodwa ezinamandla, kunokuthenga amathuluzi akhethekile abizayo ongawasebenzisa kanye futhi uwagcine unomphela. Ungahlala wenze okunye esikhundleni salokho ekhaya noma endaweni yokusebenzela nganoma yisiphi isikhathi, noma nini endaweni yokusebenzela, noma nini, ngokuphakamisa ithuluzi Sparetoolz, kodwa bheka okushintshiwe kuzo zombili izinkontileka zika-Lowe futhi uthuthukise izinketho ezitholakalayo kuwe.
Cabangela isidingo esingazelelwe nesingenakugwemeka sokudala imbobo eyisiyingi ocezwini lokhuni. AbakwaLowe banikeza izindlela eziningi ezinhle zokwenza lokhu (izimbobo zokubhoboza ama-spade, izingcezu ze-forstner, namasaha embobo), futhi mhlawumbe nezinye ezimbi (njengama-carbide burrs).Lezi zinokusetshenziswa kwazo: amafosholo nama-augers (okuzungezayo noma ama-helical angakwazi ukudabula izingcezu ezinkulu zebhodi le-messy); Izingcezu eziqinile zemigodi ehlanzekile enephansi eliphansi; namasaha embobo, Angasikwa ebhodini elilodwa kuphela (nge-Empire Abrasives).Masithi udinga imbobo engu-1″ ebhodini elingu-2×4.Phequlula lezi zinketho ezintathu zokubhoboza ezivela e-Lowe, futhi izingcezu ze-spade cishe ziyingxenye yentengo yezinketho ezibiza kakhulu-kuhle ukwazi uma ufuna ukonga imali.
Uma sikhuluma nje, kunezinhlobo eziningi zamateyipu nezixhumi esitolo sezingxenyekazi zekhompuyutha kunezinkanyezi ku-Milky Way, okungenzeka kungelona iqiniso ngokuphelele, kodwa njengoba ubuchopho bethu bungakuqondi ngokugcwele, kungase kube okulungile ukusho. Kwesinye isikhathi ubambekile ufuna into ethile, ecacile kakhulu, njengensimbi engagqwali ¾” intambo ehlehlayo. izimo, ezinye izindlela zizosebenza kahle, futhi ngokuvamile zikongela imali lapho wenza inqubo.(Khumbula, uma ufuna okufakwe esikhundleni, amantongomane, amabhawodi, nanoma yiziphi ezinye izinsimbi ezihlangana nazo kufanele ngokuvamile zifataniswe ukuze kugwenywe ukugqwala kwe-galvanic, i-APP Manufacturing incoma.
Into eyodwa ozozithola uyenza kaningi emhlabeni we-DIY ukuqaqa, ukusonga, nokugcina izintambo zokunweba.Ngaphandle uma uthanda futhi usebenzise indlela yokubopha ukuze ugcine intambo yakho (nge-Wirecutter), ungase ugcine usunekhoyili futhi udinga kakhulu ibhande elizungezile.I-Velcro ingasetshenziswa kulo msebenzi; Abakwa-Lowe bathengisa amaphekhi amathathu angu-12″ ngo-$3.98.Kodwa zama amakhasethi omdwebi aluhlaza okungenzeka ukuthi usunawo.Iqinile impela, ayishiyi izinsalela ezinamathelayo, futhi uthola ubude obuphindwe izikhathi ezingu-720 (60″) ukuze usonge izintambo ezingaphezu kwezintathu ngesikhathi.Okushintshwayo akupheli; hlola noma yimaphi amavidiyo we-Youtube Amathiphu Namasu ukuze uthole izeluleko ezengeziwe.
Uma sicabanga ngezinye izinto zokwakha, sivame ukucabanga ngokupheka.Izinto zokuthuthukisa ikhaya azikwazi ukushintshwa ngaso sonke isikhathi.Lokhu kuvame ukuba yinkinga yezokuphepha ngakho-ke kuvame ukuba udaba lwekhodi yesakhiwo.Izinketho ezifana nokuthi "umugqa omncane" noma "ipayipi le-DWV esikhundleni sika-40" akuzona izinketho, zidala inhlekelele.Kodwa ezinye izindlela (ubuningi nekhwalithi) ziyamukeleka.Ngeminyaka yawo-1970, indlela yokwakhiwa kokhuni eyathuthukiswa kamuva ebizwa ngokuthi "ubunjiniyela obuncane" yashintsha. ukuze "uhlaka oluphambili" ngabanye abadayisi abahlakaniphile), okuvumela uhlaka lwesikhungo olungu-24″ lwezindonga ezithwala imithwalo nezinye izindonga zisebenzisa amabhodi amancane, ngokusho kwe-USDA Forest Products Laboratory.Ungasebenzisa indlela efanayo (isibonelo, ukusebenzisa 2×3 esikhundleni se-2×4) ukuze unciphise izindleko zamaphrojekthi amaningi.
Akukhona nje ngokhuni.Isibonelo, abakwa-Lowe bathengisa ipayipi lensimbi njengento yokunquma (ngokuyisisekelo ishintsha ifenisha), kodwa ipayipi elingamamitha angu-10 libiza u-$45.92, futhi kumaphrojekthi angathembeli kokuningi, ungase ucabangele amandla epayipi le-PVC elipendiwe noma intambo yocingo.
Uma kukhona owazi amandla okushintsha, umphakathi we-DIY.Nasi isibonelo.Emuva ku-boom yasekuqaleni ye-.com, amabhodi amhlophe ayefanele ukumboza izindonga zenkampani.Awukwazi ukuthi uhlelo olukhulu oludinga umdwebo ongu-200-square-foot luzofika nini.Amabhizinisi amancane athola ngokushesha ukuthi izindleko bezingafanelekile emakethe yabo encane yama-dollar ayizigidi ezingu-200. amabhodi amhlophe afanayo futhi ashibhile, inqobo nje uma ungazange ukhathazeke ngezinto ezifana “nokuqina.” ” nokuthi “Sula”.Yebo, lokhu kusasebenza nanamuhla, ngisho noma ungapendi yonke intshi yesikwele ngawo, njengoba kubonisa i-Fairy Dust Teaching.
Eminye imibono ihlanganisa ukudweba udonga esikhundleni sokutshala imali esikrinini seprojektha (nge-Projector Central), noma ukwenza isikrini esiluhlaza se-DIY ukuze ukwazi ukukhombisa umndeni wakho uma useholidini enyangeni.Kwesinye isikhathi into ebambele ilungile, njengokusebenzisa i-silicone caulk engu-100% esikhundleni seresiphi eqondile yokwenza isikhunta (nge-Instructables).
Kuya ngokuthi yimaphi ama-backwaters e-Pinterest ongene kuwo ngephutha, ungathola kalula yonke imboni exakeke ukonga imali ngokuzenzela wena izinto, ezivame ukuthengwa ezitolo ezinkulu zokuthuthukisa ikhaya.Ngokusho kweChalk & Apples kanye nama-Fstoppers, abathwebuli bezithombe, abathwebuli bevidiyo kanye nothisha baziwa ngokonga nge-DIY emasikweni angayibheki njengegugu ngokufanele imfundo,Ngoba kukhona amathuba akhona e-YouTube, hlola amathuba amaningi emisebenzi ye-Minecraft. ingxoxo ejulile ephetha ngokuthi i-PTFE thread sealing tape inhle kakhulu (futhi ishibhile!) ireferensi yebhalansi emhlophe yabathwebuli bezithombe (nge-FastRawViewer).Noma zama lokhu okwasemuva, okusebenzisa ngobuchule i-toilet plunger ethobekile (ngesithombe se-DIY).
Uma kukhulunywa ngezingoma ezivelele, abaculi bavamise ukwephulwa, ngezinye izikhathi “abachwepheshile” ngenxa yokuthi bazochitha imali cishe noma yini, futhi baphinde babe nesiko le-DIY elinempilo, elicebile elihlukile, njengamanye ama-Lowe. i-soundproof igumbi lonke eline-rock wool insulation.
Ngaleso sikhathi, amaciko angathola izinsiza azidingayo ngenkathi ehlala kude nebhokisi likadoti ngamathiphu avela kumamagazini afana ne-Artspace Magazine, njengokuthi uwenza kanjani ukhanvasi womdwebi oshibhile ngekhanvasi.
Ezinye izindlela ze-DIY zifinyelele umvuthwandaba ekuqashisweni kwamathuluzi futhi manje seziyatholakala ezindaweni eziningi zika-Lowe.Ukuqashwa kwamathuluzi kuyinqubo lapho uqala khona iphrojekthi ongajwayelekile futhi uqashe kunokuthenga amanye amathuluzi abizayo ayidingayo.Hlela ngokucophelela.Ukuqasha amathuluzi avamile kungaba nzima, ngakho udinga ukuhlela amaphrojekthi akho lapho ungakwazi ukuqasha amathuluzi owadingayo.Uzophinde ufune ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi uma usebenzisa noma yiliphi ithuluzi liyasebenza, futhi ngaphambi kokuthi uqashise liyasebenza,' uzodinga ukufunda indlela yokuyisebenzisa ngokuphepha.Noma kunjalo, lindela ukonga okungafika ku-2% uma kuqhathaniswa nokuthenga ithuluzi ngokuqondile.
Ngokusho kwe-O'Reilly Auto Parts, kwamanye amathuluzi, ungaphinda ucabangele isitolo sakho sendawo yezingxenye zezimoto, esivame ukuba nababolekayo bamathuluzi mahhala (enediphozithi enkulu).Iningi lalawa mathuluzi aqondene nokulungiswa okuzenzakalelayo, kodwa amanye (njengamaphampu e-vacuum) nawo afanele izimo zokuthuthukisa ikhaya.
Kubalandeli abaya kwa-Lowe bengenalwazi lokuthi bazokhokha yiphi intengo, isitolo sinikeza uhlelo olucishe lube yingqondo yokufanisa intengo olukunikeza inani eliphansi kakhulu ozothola phakathi komncintiswano.Iningi lokufanisa amanani kudinga izinombolo zomkhiqizo ezifanayo, okungaba inkinga. Abathengisi abakhulu ngezinye izikhathi badinga amamodeli ahlukene omkhiqizo ofanayo ukuze bagweme ukuzibophezela kokufana nentengo, ukukhishwa kwesikhashana kwe-By konke kusho. cishe akunakwenzeka ukuhlangabezana nemfuneko yokufanisa intengo, ngakho ngokuvamile kuzodingeka uthembele ekuthandeni okuhle kwe-cashier noma izisebenzi zesevisi yamakhasimende, ngokuvamile ezinegunya lokwenza lezi zinqumo.Nazi ezinye zezindlela zokuthola ukufana kwamanani angcono kakhulu, nendlela yokuwenza asebenze.
I-Cheapism incoma ukuthi ulethe ubufakazi bokufana kwentengo, okufana nepheshana lokuthengisa noma ikhasi lewebhu kufoni yakho.Ungasebenzisa futhi amasevisi afana ne-PriceCase ukulandelela izintengo zomkhiqizo ngamunye kwabancintisana nabo futhi uthole izexwayiso uma kwenzeka izinguquko ezinkulu.I-BrickSeek izothola zonke izintengo zasendaweni zomkhiqizo othile futhi ikubonise intengo ephansi kakhulu yamanje ezitolo ezingase zifanelekele I-Lowe's Price Match.
Uma unesithupha esiluhlaza futhi ungakwazi ukubulala izitshalo zakho ngokwakho, abakwa-Lowe bayakujabulela ukukwenzela futhi bazokunikeza isaphulelo sika-50-90% ukuze uqale!LowesEmployees.com ithi ukusula izitshalo ngokuvamile kuwukuntula ukuchelela, futhi noma ubani onesithupha esiluhlaza kufanele akwazi ukuzibuyisela empilweni. Yiqiniso, ungathengi noma yini ebonakala ifile phakathi noSuku Lomsebenzi WeSikhumbuzo.
Izitshalo zokuhlanza ngokuvamile azibuyiselwa, ngakho-ke uma ulangazelela ukubuyiselwa imali egcwele, kuzodingeka uzibulale izitshalo ngokwakho.Izindaba ezinhle, ngokusho kuka-Lowe, ukuthi u-Lowe unikeza inqubomgomo yokubuyisela yezinyanga ezingu-12 yezihlahla, izihlahla kanye nezinye izitshalo ezihlala njalo.Uma uzibulala ungakapheli unyaka, zizokubuyisela ngaphandle kokubuza noma yimiphi imibuzo.Ezinye izitshalo ozithengayo zigcizelela ukubuyisela izinsuku ezingu-90 zenkampani yakho. irisidi.
I-Payback yinto enkulu, hhayi ezikhungweni zasengadini kuphela, ngakho-ke nakuba leli thiphu lingeke likugcinele imali ngokuphelele, lizokushiya unemali eningi ephaketheni lakho ekupheleni kwephrojekthi. Imfihlo? Vele uthenge e-Lowe.Enye yezikhalazo zezitolo ezinkulu zamabhokisi uma kuqhathaniswa nezitolo ezifana nogesi nabahlinzeki be-plumber ukuthi laba bakamuva ngokuvamile ababuyiseli, noma okungenani babuyise injabulo, noma okungenani babuyise injabulo. phakathi kwabahlinzeki abakhulu bezohwebo, uFerguson ukhokhisa imali yokubuyisela isitoko. I-Quality Plumbing Supply izokwamukela izimbuyiselo zingakapheli izinsuku ezingu-30, kodwa kufanele ube Nemvume Yokubuyiswa Kwempahla (RMA); Inkokhelo engu-15% yokuphinda isitokwe ngemva kwezinsuku eziyi-15, imali engu-25% yokuphinda isitokwe kabusha uma ungenayo i-RMA, futhi isayithi libala okunye okungafakwanga okukhulu.Ngerisidi noma indlela yokukhokha efanele esandleni, abakwa-Lowe bazokwamukela izimbuyiselo ngaphandle kokuhlupheka.
Ibhonasi: Uma uzwa ukuthi udinga ukubukwa eduze kwaLowe uqobo, cabanga ngokuzama ukuthola umbiko wabo wokumaka komunye wabasebenzi. Lo mbhalo oyinganekwane, okungenzeka ukuthi uyinganekwane ubala zonke izinto ezithengiswa esitolo, futhi nokwazi kungabangela indoda egqoke ivesti eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ukuthi iqale ngokushesha ukusakaza imenenja ngomsakazo.
