      Honestly, I’d consider it.

      If I was in the middle of a job and was about to run out of something, I’m looking at downing tools for a minimum hour round trip to the nearest (decent) hardware store.

      There’s a good chance someone starting closer to the store can get that down to 35-40 minutes, and I can carry on working in the meantime.

      Now “normal”, perhaps not, but unreasonable also perhaps not?

        In other words, if you’re a contractor and the doordasher’s fee is lower than your hourly rate.

          Not necessarily, sometimes you just want to get something finished today, which won’t happen if you’re sitting in your car. I probably wouldn’t do it though.

    Had to get some caulk for a project recently. Holy shit there are so many different types of caulk. Different colors of caulk. Different sizes of caulk. Specialty caulk that is thick and caulk that is particularly sticky.

    I’m not a caulk person but after getting hands-on, I got what I needed.

    Is the application up high, do they have a man basket? Might need a pair of dykes to pull off the old caulk.

    These two aren’t pronounced even close to the same unless you forget that letters in the middle count.

      Depends where you’re from really, and how thick an accent you have. I spent a weekend decorating my first house accidentally talking in nothing but innuendo until it was pointed out to me that I should never go into a DIY shop, obvious gay that I am, and run around asking for cock.
