Brandan Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 They are comparable to home depot. Same concept. They have humidifiers, I've saw MH light at the one out here.. Not sure about online store though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homes Labs Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Menards is one of my fav stores but not the greatest for hydro stuff. Bins are hit or miss. Cheap timers. No airpumps. Good selection of humidifiers and room heaters. They do have inline booster fans that work well. 4 to 12 inch I believe. Lots of PVC and plumbing accessories. Not sure about the the MH bulbs. I know there selection is CRAP for t5 anything. Overall its a good store, easily can spend money there. They have a decent handtools selection, some foods, and lots of other stuff.

Grow Thread Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 oh i am 100% familiar with the timers of which you infer. i actually do need a couple of those $6 suckers im just trying to see if its gonna be worth it to me to make the drive and blow the cards, or sell them for 75% or what the heck ever gift cards are getting nowadays.

Ionic7 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 If you cannot find anything useful with your gift cards I can try to see if anyone I know would buy them off you for cash so you could get things you are looking for if not you can toss em on craigslist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knottwhole Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 BB, you're a do it yourselfer. If you can't spend 200 at Menards you should be ashamed. Lots of plumbing parts, wire gizmos, and dreams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pic book Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 It's a shame Michigan has few Menards locations. In other parts of the Midwest they are the true do-it-yourself discount store, priced significantly below Home Depot and way under Lowe's. They are a bit shy on the high end mega bucks marble bath basins and gold faucets others carry (which really spins some yups cranks)for their Mcmansions. Wisconsin and Minnesota are blessed with them, Michigan is unfortunately, not. You got Menard gift cards? Somebody loves you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(close valve-disconnect quick release- open valve to drain.) I used 1 1/2'' because i used bath tub drains as my output.. double gaskets and all... works great^^^^(screw grommets and leaks) they are made concaved so when they are tightend they seal 100% ( But i still used some silicone on the rubber gaskets) plumbed right to the bath drain..menards has the drains i used 3$ each.

+420Atheist Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 they have video surveillance equipment. Bins are poor to non existent. Most stuff is pretty low grade but inexpensive (less than lowes in most cases. Hardware is acceptable and I buy screws and bolts and such there.
