As long as I'm still up - mini rant on Home Despot

[cbelt3]

Go with a big corporation as a middle man, and you'll get hit with a lot of extra overhead absorption. I had Sears bid on a bathroom remodel years ago. The quote included a $700 "Management Charge". I asked, they said it was a corporate requirement. I asked them to remove it, they said they weren't allowed to.

Needless to say, I declined.
