LOL. Grills assembled or in the box are the same price at our home improvement center. But if it isn't already assembled it will take about 3 days to have it built. The guys that assemble them at our location tell me about the nightmares they go through. I laugh at the guys that would rather build them themselves and tell them my wife and I once built a grill together... it almost ended up in divorce. Most take it in the box because they don't have a vehicle that can transport a built grill. I ask them if they know anyone who has a pickup truck or van because guys will do just about anything for a case of beer.
Or in Homer’s case, he ends up becoming a successful modern artist.LOL. Grills assembled or in the box are the same price at our home improvement center.

I hate dealing with rocking chairs at our home improvement center. We have four models… white, black, red and wood grain. They’re displayed on a shelf 8-feet up and tied down with thick cable ties that even Hoodini himself couldn’t get out of. They're sold in boxes and you need to assemble them. I spoke to the store manager about them the other day. I asked him what corporate geniuses came up with this stupid way to display them. I said only old people buy them and they refuse to buy one without sitting and rocking in it for what seems like an eternity. We have to get power equipment to get one down, find some tool to cut through the cable ties, and wait around while some ancient rocks away making up their mind. I told him it takes about a half-hour to sell one damn rocking chair. I asked if we could display one on the floor (as they’re all the same style) so we wouldn’t have to go the rigmarole each time. He said no… you know because… corporate decisions and all. Idiots!

All this talk of rocking chairs makes me want to go out and get one. There is one in my son's room but I don't think he uses it (mostly he seems to pile his clean folded laundry there).I hate dealing with rocking chairs at our home improvement center.

Piling things on top of it is their best use.

Ha ha - this is the same rocker I used to rock his older brother Sean in, way back in the 80s.Piling things on top of it is their best use.
So I wonder where I could get a good deal on an already assembled rocker? We do have some lawn furniture that sort of bends back and forth in our garage (if that makes sense).
It's still too cold here to put them out on the deck yet.
Our chair looks like the one in the bottom right hand corner, only without a cushion.

Check the obituaries of old people and then look for yard sales at the address.
Oy vey

Try a thrift store or consignment shop, as new moms often sell their rockers after the baby is older.
Rocking chairs are relaxing only if they have a huge cushion on them for comfort.
I’d prefer a cheap folding lawn chair with those plastic slats… some cold drinks… and an M1 Garand.

I wouldn't...... I'd ask to borrow my uncle's tools, and he'd do it for me!But why would you want to?
Ah, then when you say you can build a grill you actually mean you can get the grill built… which is technically correct, I guess. Smart cookie.
I am old. Rocking chairs have started to garner some little bit of appeal... although I've been fighting the feeling with all my might. I fear the older we become or feel then resistance becomes futile.
