One part of the process has been removing the blue, yes, sno-cone blue, wall-to-wall carpet, and refinishing the fifty-year old oak floors. I have to tell you that I feel like I am doing Western Civilization some good as I remove the carpet and expose these beautiful floors to the world once again. But to my point -- in order to refinish the floors, I had to visit various rental facilities for the refinishing machinery; to my surprise Home Depot had the newest equipment and the best service.
I had noticed an improvement in Home Depot in the last few years but did not expect that to filter through to the rental equipment, which was not known for renting good equipment. I was pleasantly surprised and thought the process was as easy as it could get both in the renting and returning.
I visited Lowes, which contracts their rentals to Sunbelt Rentals, an independent rental company, and Home Depot. Home Depot had the best combination of good equipment, price and service.
What's this have to do with food in Fort Worth?
Nothing really, but if you are looking to rent home improvement equipment in Fort Worth, I liked what I saw at Home Depot -- and those grilled sausages and brauts sold at the exit are pretty good, too.

Don't forget the local company= Taylor's Rentals on University Drive. I just love them.
I actually thought of taking my children to the Home Depot parking lot for dinner a few nights ago. It had been a long day.
Those hotdogs and sausages are tasty! When I was doing repairs to the house, I couldn't resist buying a dog...
The first time I did a floor I got the square sander at HD and loved it. Last time, in another house, I rented a rotary buffer at Taylor to prep the floors, which I left bare and primitive. I wouldn't use a buffer for sanding, but it was great for scrubbing off the old wax and grime and paint. Since they were going to put down carpet, they didn't bother to protect the wood.
I once considered buying a house where they had painted the hardwood floors aquamarine. Enough said...
