I don’t understand how the water stays standing with the drain hole open, did you plug up the drain hole?

[@damianhendricks818]

7:23 yes that's exexactly what the red plug is...

[@SouthFloridaSunshine]

@@damianhendricks818 Thanks lol, I am on a phone and did not see them put it in or say they were plugging it.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

I live in a leg of the Mojave desert -- if I let water stand 24 - 48 hrs, there WILL be evaporation. So ... I'll have to ask around HERE how WE test for water leaks here in "u-can-feel-your-skin-tightening-when-you-come-back-from-Seattle -- after 45 min here ...

Girls reaction ?

Lowes lost $80 of sales today. No checkout lanes open. When that happens i leave the cart at the checkout area and shop elsewhere. Take note big box stores- you can stock checkout lanes with cashiers, or you will be hiring someone to place items back on shelves while your competitors get actual commerce.

Front op manager dropped the ball big time.

Why not lay the floor tile first 🤔
