Back to Home Depot!

Hey Gang!

While waiting for the lab to be finished, Hikaru had to do something.  He is
working at the local home depot.  This allows him to purchase the supplies
needed for his own home at a discount, to see and get updates from Harold
when he comes in for supplies, to meet the community and make money
while waiting.  He is learning about tools and home repair too. 

Joseph, the manager is great to work for.

Joseph takes time daily to greet costumers and see how things are going.

Staying in the office never gives you the full picture of how a business is doing.

Joseph: Hello and welcome to Home Depot!

Stringer: Hello! I came here because I new you had a large selection of gift cards!

Joseph: Yes we do! It is one of the things we pride our self on.

Joseph thinks to himself the store is busy! Good!

Thad: I was looking for trash cans for the yard.  

Joseph: We have a large selection right over here.

Joseph: It is a deep can. It is 70 gallons! We have a lot of color too!

Thad: Well...I was looking for a lighter blue than that. Lighter than the blue of my shirt.

Joseph: I have some in the back. I will bring it up for you!

Joseph: OK, I am going over to have some keys made!

Joseph: Key making is on aisle 6!

Joseph thinks to himself...OK, where did he go?

Joseph: Here he comes! Did you get your keys made?

Joseph: Oh, yes!  I looked in the garden section too!  I want to add some trees.

Joey: Dad, there you are! I went to your office!

Joseph: I am out here greeting customers and see how things are going.

Joey: I  should work here! I could work for you! It would be more fun than the Museum.

Joey: You have to deal with customers there! They are a pain.

Joseph: I have to deal with customers here too and so would you!

Joey: But I am the bosses son here! I can do what I want right!

Joseph: No Joey, that isn't what working is about. A job is about your customers! No

matter what your job is. Your mom's customers are call patients. It is all about

the customers.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

needs tools!

Note the light and dark tool boxes!

The dark tool box is from Micheal's!  It comes with the tools you see below.

The second is the maple color wood is from AC Moore's and 

comes with the tools seen with it!

Here is Harold with one!

Don't for get the Dollar Tree dollar store!
As a handyman/contractor you might have to will need to block off traffic and
walkways!  So you will need these to make the job easy!
Caution Signs and Caution Cones!

 I will remove this word on the cones with nail polish remover.

I have already removed the thumbs up from the bottom of the signs.  I wish I had
left the caution triangle.  Oh well!  A few more odd and end and he will be ready
for any job.  Harold has been pestering me for a truck.

Diorama Alert!

Hey Gang!

Inexpensive Diorama Items! I found these items locally but they may be                              for sale in your area too!

Joseph and Hikaru

Renee: This cherry end table will go well with my toile chairs!

Sales clerk to manager: This gentleman would like to know

if this is available in a smaller size?

I am trying to keep my dolly spending low without making

dolls pay the price of the economy!

 

These Home Depot aprons are gift card holders. They are just the 

right size for 1/6 play. I talked a sales clerk into just giving me the 

aprons without the gift cards. My dolls didn't know that these were free!     

This table is from the dollar store. The Dollar Tree to be more accurate. 

It is a dollhouse dining room table.  

As you can see, it is too small for a dining room table for Barbie but 

it makes a great end table. 

These shelve painted or left as they are, makes a great bookshelf. 

Add feet to it for height!

 

You got to love a decorated Christmas tree! This gold balls and gold 

pot make it especial! I believe that there are more diorama items to be 

found this time of year than any other time! So Keep An Eye Out!

OK Thanks For Looking!
