What if we were to define doityourself as a shop where one can purchase everything necessary to build a house, from tools and materials up to and including beams and sheathing, roofing, toilets, sinks, electrical cabinets, furnaces, etc.? We can ignore the fact that professional builders use Home Depot because in a sense they are doing-it-themselves too. It's just that they do it for money, which IMO should have no bearing on the type of shop it is.
AFAIK, Ace Hardware stores do not carry a wide enough assortment of items to qualify. Lowes and Home Depot do. It is still a slippery slope regardless. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email> This email has been sent from a virus-free computer protected by Avast. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email> <#DDB4FAA8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Tue, Feb 9, 2016 at 9:57 AM, Jaakko Helleranta <jaa...@helleranta.com> wrote: > On Mon, Feb 8, 2016 at 8:09 PM, Greg Troxel <g...@ir.bbn.com> wrote: > >> shop=doityourself >> and shop=hardware are the same thing, with some notion of scale, >> > > So this is rather similar distinction as > shop=convenience > vs. > shop=supermarket > .. and perhaps even on top of that > vs. > shop=department_store > as many department stores also have a food department (albeit certainly > not all). > > If this is the case then isn't the distinction a real and a needed one? > > Cheers, > -Jaakko > -- > OSM/Twitter/IRC/Mumble: @jaakkoh * My profile: http://about.me/jaakkoh > > > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging > > -- Dave Swarthout Homer, Alaska Chiang Mai, Thailand Travel Blog at http://dswarthout.blogspot.com
