He was great and I was grateful to have his help and save me time. Going to Takoma or Silver Spring Ace, or Home Depot because they are closer or to save a buck 250, but spend hundreds of dollars in my time, with uncertain results, would be a colossal waste.

What I actually came here for was to get some gardening tools and supplies for my house up here. I figure I have the long holiday weekend to hipefully make some good progress on the yard and small garden area. This hardware store is very close to me here and I wasn't in the mood to drive 6 miles to the big box hardware store to maybe save asmall amount of money. I got a garden house, a shovel, and regular yard rake to clean up the place. They had everything that I needed.

The traditional big box hardware store is mikes and mikes away, and asking for help at those places has always been hit or miss.

Their prices may be a little higher but the convenience factor far outweighs the additionally cost. I was helped immediately by an awesome employee, and he directed me to the exact section that had closet brackets, and then he directed me to where the small screws were located. I was surprised to see their extensive paint section, and they even have Christmas gear already on display. I really do appreciate the personalized attention from the folks who work here.
