What size of posts? 

Phew. it appears nobody caught my faux pas.  I was inside posting the David Essex song and there was a giant delay and never got confirmation.  This was a "double post".  I edited it posthumously.  

 

I was actually there looking to see if they sold after market screens.  I bought this place and I can't determine the brand name of the windows.  I have no screens!

Cell service at Menards is usually crappy too. WTH??!!

What place sells windows without screens?! Did you find screens that will work?

Hollywood knows where to buy windows without screens. In the movies and on TV nobody has screens, people are always climbing in and out the windows.

Because I have Tracfone service and don't want to use up my limited online GB, when I'm in Walmart I use its free Internet to pay with the Walmart Pay app with my smartphone.

It's almost always very fast, but a few couple times I've been at the self-checkout at least five minutes waiting for my app to logon.

There was probably a bunch of people in the parking lot downloading porn and maybe they do the same at Home Depot.

Personally, the service at my local Lowe's is much better than Home Depot.  When I decided the safest way to profit from the housing recovery after 2008-9 was to invest in a hardware chain, I thought my Graham-Buffett-type Value Stock research would point me to Lowe's.  But it solidly pointed me to Home Depot.  Lowe's grows income by new stores, Home Depot does that AND increases earnings at existing stores at a good, single-digit percentage each year.  In addition to the pricing advantage of being twice as big a company as Lowe's, Home Depot has other durable competitive advantages because it has the unique ability to quickly ship large, pre-assembled housing items and has much more established long-term contracts with contractors.  Home Depot has outpaced Lowe's as my research indicated.

I lost 7% on Home Depot stock in 2018 but it has returned 24% in 2018 so far, including 1/2 it's 2.6% annual dividend.  Lowe's stock is down about 1/2% since the beginning of 2018.
