This is an old-fashioned, hardware store tucked behind a little shopping center in Linthicum. If you are not looking for it, you will miss it. But if you are ever looking for that hard-to-find piece of hardware (radiator key, anyone?), make this your first stop. Chances are, they will have what you need.

After striking out at a different location, Jeremy ordered what he wanted ahead of time, so they had it ready when we arrived. No need to wander the aisles. It was hardly worth the effort to unlatch me from our van so I could accompany him inside. But it was blazing freaking hot so I went inside for all of seven minutes, while Jeremy paid for his purchase. I think my favorite part about shopping at Home Depot is that their website tells you where to find everything that they stock: aisle number, section, down to individual item number. Its super helpful, when I remember to use it, and my phone isn't being a cranky piece of crap by not loading web pages. I wish more stores would add the ability to find the item in store to their websites.

I had to ask 3 different employees and still no one came, despite them announcing it on the speaker. A different occasion involved almost a 20 minute wait for someone to help me make copies of keys. The value is good as any other Home Depot, but the wait is too long. I would only recommend going here if you know what you need and do not need any help - otherwise, I hope you have a lot of patience.

Meanwhile, on the mechanics job that never ends... we spent most of the day yesterday trying to buy…read morea welding torch to remove a ball bearing from a Toyota Sienna. Never in my life thought I'd know someone who could possibly weld, but life is weird. Jeremy has an ever growing love affair with Harbor Freight, so we visited the location in Glen Burnie, near good old David's Bridal (don't get me started on the horrors of that store). Thing is, Harbor Frieght doesn't sell the cannisters of gas necessary to fuel the torch. We bought a small welding kit anyway, hoping to find the cannister we needed at Home Depot. That was a bust, so we ended up returning to Harbor Freight to get our money back... But the story doesn't end there! After finally finding a welding kit and getting a tank filled at Robert's Oxygen, we returned to the job to discover that we needed some kind of hammer thing that requires an air compressor to run... so back to Harbor Freight We found an air compressor on sale and helpful signage reminded us that we also needed a hose and some fittings. We took our purchases out front to make sure we had everything we needed, returned to the job to find that, for reasons that suggests the universe hates us, one of the fittings would not lock in place. At that point, it was after 8pm and the store had closed, so we threw up our hands and went home for the night. Jeremy ended up going to the dundalk location early this morning to get the quick fit piece he needed and we are back on the job in pasadena. Fingers crossed he can get this axel off, cuz he's been working this job for a week now and I'm pretty sure any money he was going to make has all been spent on tools at Harbor Freight.

From this modest beginning, rooted in founder Ben Posner's career in the steel business, the Company began its long period of growth and the establishment in 1975 of its current corporate headquarters. Located in Capitol Heights, Maryland, Posner Industries serves its customers from its 50,000 square foot main warehouse. With Ben's two sons continuing their father's dedication to serving businesses large and small, the renamed Posner Industries expanded its focus to include not just steel and fasteners, but also power tools, abrasives and a broad range of contractor supplies. With the additional expertise and partnership of the Schraf family, Posner Industries expanded its operations into the Chantilly, Virginia, area in 1998, opening its first satellite operation and heralding a new era of growth for the company.
