You know how your child gets a little too excited when he or she enters a toy store or pet shop? Before we as parents starts reprimanding them on the numerous things they want to buy for no reason at all, we might look at our own behavior when we enter for instance a hardware store? Maybe we should think.
It’s alright! We all have a little child inside us and who says adults can’t have fun? There are hundreds of hardware stores in the US and each one offers something unique and amazing.
Yesterday I spend infinitely too much time wandering around the farm/hardware store. Over the years I’ve found a lot of hidden gems. There’s tons of little tools, materials, and parts that most people have no idea exist but which are ridiculously useful to have in your tool shed.
Yes, I bought myself a rolled tool pouch with a 28 piece SAE & Metric wrenches included, several key chains and a few bungee cords I had been looking for the cycles.
Also, I netted a visit down Memory Lane as I noticed the mini bikes.
Many hours of pure splendor was spent on my beloved mini bike through the years. It was the thing that began my fever which lead to bigger toys. 😄
These stores have proven to be hilarious entertainment too.
How about the obvious blond... "Me" walking into a Home Depot and telling the guy in lighting/electrical I needed longer nipples?
True story, I was looking to use decorative light kit with my custom -installed bathroom fans. I had bought new fans but the motor wouldn't fit in the box, but the threaded bolt (nipple) holding the flat plastic grill and light cover wasn't long enough for me to just substitute the nice domed alabaster light and ring.
Oops, yes I did it & it was a laugh for everyone. Who knew all the fun that could be had shopping with me.
I Can Be A Thousand Laughs At Times.🙄
Keep Them Smiling Is My Motto...
