What is Home Depot like on Black Friday?

I want to buy some of that ceiling product that looks like the old
pressed tin stuff and install it on Friday.

I hate crowds, though.

I dunno about Home Depot, but I do know about the Bluewater Bridge from
my hometown to Port Huron MI...you just don't go near it on Black
Friday. Bizzzeeeee.
A trip that normally takes me 10 minutes max, can take 2 hours+
The bridge is here:

82=B025'24.86"W

At 25,000 ft alt, you can see my house in Sarnia, ON and Home Depot in
Port Huron MI
I'm not sure how high you have get to see Lee Valley..*smirk*

I have found that the best time to hit HD is at the dinner hour.

Here's what Home Depot will have on sale Friday. Might give a clue how
big the crowd will be.

Today is Wednesday. Pick it up after work.. Around 6 or 7 pm, it's not
crowded at all.

Personally, I think you're insane for even considering buying a
routine, non sale item on Friday.

You obviously know the problem. You also know the possible solutions.
Pick one and go with it. When spring comes, the grass will grow by itself.

I have gone to stores like Target in late afternoon or evening on Black
Friday and crowds aren't a problem. I would go to Menards or Home Depot
later in the day Friday without any concern about crowds.

My local Menards is sometimes so crowded on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon
that I have to drive around and around just to find any parking spot, no
matter how far from the entrance.

Then don't leave the house to go anywhere until at least the middle of
January.

FWIW, and for future reference, I was in Lowe's about 10 AM Friday and it was
less crowded than a typical Saturday morning.

HD usually opens before DIY'ers get out of bed ... go early.

The operative word is "usually".

On "Black Friday", stores around here open at 5:00AM.

I did South Ft Myers Ace, HD, Lowes and Fergusons on Friday (looking
for a brass fitting that was unobtanium).. All of them were a
nightmare.

Sounds like a good project!

>I hate crowds, though.

Buy it tomorrow, then.

I'll be spending the day on Friday cleaning out and sorting stuff in
my Man Garage where I wrench on motorcycles and make stuff from wood.

Go EARLY, in the first hour.

When I really have to go there, it works for me.
