Daily Home Renovation Tips每日家裝修秘訣

In Part 1 we left off being told the following when we approached the order desk at the big box building supply store to order our front door:在第1部分我們的不放過，被告知以下，當我們走近服務台，以便在大方塊建設供應商店訂購我們的前門：

• ”You can, but I don’t really recommend you order the door today.” “你可以，但我真的不建議您為了今天的大門” 。
• “The sales price is only for doors ordered this weekend.” “銷售價格只為門下令在本週末” 。

First things first.第一件事第一。 The reason why the sales associated recommended that we not order the door that day was the measurements.之所以銷售相關的建議，我們不能命令的大門，這一天的測量。 We did measure the right things (height, width of the door, of the side lights).我們沒有措施，正確的事（高度，寬度的大門，一側燈） 。 Heck, even Bruce, our primary contractor for our renovations, checked our measurements.赫克，即使布魯斯，我們的主要承包商，我們的翻修，檢查我們的測量。

However, as was explained to us, you don’t want to mess up the measurements.不過，由於是向我們解釋，你不想搞得一團糟了測量。 If we took the wrong measurements, shame on us and we have no recourse if the new door does not fit.如果我們採取了錯誤的測量結果，對我們的恥辱，我們也沒有追索權，如果新的大門，並不適合。 And, it would cost us just $50, which would be taken off the price of the door once we actually placed our order.並且，它的成本我們只是50元，這將是起飛的價格的大門一旦我們其實放在我們的秩序。

So, the sales associate explained that we should simply place an order for a measurement specialist to come to our house and record the measurements.因此，銷售副解釋說，我們應該只是一個為了測量專家來我們家和記錄的測量。 This would be a person who measures door openings all the time.這將是一個人，誰措施的大門開口，所有的時間。 If there was anything wrong with the door based on these measurements, we are off the hook.如果有什麼不對的大門，根據這些測量，我們擺脫困境。 Sounded good to us.好聽的給我們。

One problem.一問題。 The door measurement dude would not be able to come to our home until some time the next week, after the sale and 1 year no interest financing would be available.大門測量dude將無法來我們的家，直到一段時間，下週，出售後和一年不感興趣，融資將提供。 Once I pointed out the illogic of such a situation, the sales associate called someone else in the store to see how the situation could be addressed.我曾經指出，不合邏輯的這種情況下，銷售協理所謂別人在商店看到的情況如何可以得到解決。

After a few minutes we were promised that the sale price would be honoured.幾分鐘後，我們承諾，出售價格將兌現。 The sales associate made a note in their computer system. We were told that this note would advise the next sales associate we dealt with upon our return following the measurements being taken that we could receive the 20% sale price on the door we selected.銷售副作出了注意在他們的電腦系統。告訴我們，這說明將提醒未來的銷售協理，我們處理後，我們的回報之後，正在採取測量，我們可以得到20 ％的銷售價格上的大門，我們選定的。

So, away we went having paid the $50 measurement fee. We then received the phone call in a few days to arrange the measurement which occurred the week after we had ordered the measurement.因此，離我們去支付了50元的測量費。然後，我們收到了電話，在數天內安排測量發生一周後，我們曾下令測量。 The person came, recorded the various measurements of the current door, the opening, depth, and so on.人來了，記錄的各種測量當前的大門，開放，深入，等等。 We were told that he would fax the measurements to the big box building supplies store that evening and we could then go and place our order.我們被告知，他將傳真的測量，以大方塊建築用品商店，傍晚我們便可以去的地方，我們的訂單。

We went the next day and discovered to our disappointment that the fax was not received by the big box building supply store.我們到第二天，發現我們的失望，傳真未收到由大方塊建設供應商店。 The person we spoke with informed us that she would call us when she received the fax.人，我們以與通知我們，她會要求我們當她收到的傳真。 To make a long story short, it took 15 days from September 13th, when we went to order the door and came away only ordering the measurement, until September 28th when we could and did place our order.使一個長期的故事，總之，花了15天，從9月13日，當我們來到秩序的大門，來到遠離只訂購的測量，直到9月28日，當我們可以做的地方，我們的訂單。

Return tomorrow to learn about our lessons learned about ordering an external door.返回明日了解我們的經驗教訓訂購一個外部的大門。 And, see if the note that the sales associate left in their computer system was sufficient for us to receive the 20% discount and no interest or payments for a full year.和，看看是否注意到，銷售副留在他們的電腦系統有足夠的，我們收到20 ％的折扣，並沒有任何利息或支付滿一年。
