Supply Chain Mess Really Starting To Hit Us At Work
I built a home Ubiquiti system "one piece at a time". It's crazy.

I'm wondering, will your vendor let you buy them and provide delivery when available so you can book the purchase?

I was in Home Depot and this is what I saw securing the electrical wiring ...

I see stock on the shelves, behind locks.

Right. I was trying to make a funny about the amount of conduit consumed in building the "fences" over the stock.

Evidently I failed. Razz

We are seeing more shoplifting along with grab and run thefts at a Menard's than a a whole huge mall. There is a Lowe's in the department to the south of us and a Home Depot in the department to the west, all experiencing lots of thefts. Popular items:

1. Security cameras (real irony there)
2. Drill bits of all shapes and sizes
3. Wiring of any type.

Seems like the thieving knuckleheads are finding more value in stealing the insulated wire from the box stores instead of ripping out wiring resulting in denying utility services to sell for the copper weight.

Their defense is "force majeure"

My garage doors are getting installed Monday. Only waited about 6 months.
