Shoelace December 5, 2013 Share December 5, 2013 I'm building a PVC durso. I need a 1" to 1/2" bushing. I'm finishing my sump. I need clear silicone. I go shopping at Home Depot and Petco to pick up these, among other things. In a rush because I gotta get the kids to their activities, but I really want to finish these parts of my build. Like, really, really! I come home and find out I bought a 1" to 3/4" bushing and black silicone. %*&$^! @&%! %&}! Anyone else do this, or am I the only one suffering from reefing senility?

matt December 5, 2013 Share December 5, 2013 I bought clear silicone caulking for my bathtub a few weeks ago instead of brilliant white. I blame this on children as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffwehler December 5, 2013 Share December 5, 2013 I always do something like this. So, if I know I'm starting a project. I automatically assume that I'll be at Depot or Lowes 3-5 times till I get it all right after changes and revisions. I save all my receipts and packaging religiously. Then....when it's all finished. I always have a nice credit towards the next debacle! Or "project". Key is to keep a box with your favorite retailers name on it. Throw parts and pieces in as you go and then it's easy when you make the next trip to that store. (Especially with plumbing fittings and pieces) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been silly and everything gets jumbled together and then it's like... is this from Lowes or Home Depot? Where is that receipt? now I write a note on a 'post-it' app n my phone. Me too. Makes me forget less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
