November 19th, 2021 we ordered new metal railings for our front porch. Big-Box store, similar to Home Depot. Nothing custom-made; you just cut them to the size you need and install.
The guy said, ‘2-3 weeks’ and we could come back to pick them up.
Well, that came and went, so I checked our order on-line. Delivery is June 14th, 2022! And it’s a Wisconsin-made product.
So, I don’t know what’s up with that. Mainly, we’ve been buying up basics for car and truck maintenance. I need a new truck, but that’s not looking like it will happen anytime soon, so need to keep my old one limping along for a few more years. :(
Half the problem is people aren’t working, a lot due to government payments.
