The guy knows his stuff, and can guide first-timers through the most difficult projects.

We need a clone of your husband up here. Usually there's one person with a clue in each department and they're being rug ragged by questions that the others can't answer.

And that really ticks me off too: HD hires a lot people who's only skill is pushing a ladder around. Then the person that does know what they're doing ends up having to manage him, and answer questions. So the expert gets burnt out quickly. Repeat until you have an insane aslyum.

Hey, if you ever need to know how to lay parquet or install ceramic tile in a tub-surround, LMK! LOL!

We do get brain drain at the store. Teh store is in Ann Arbor, and every fall they get college students who need to be spoon-fed. hubby told one of those off just today. Fellow was shocked that he was being expected to WORK for his pay! LOL! Tia
