Do you ever get one of those ideas where you think you are the only one to think of it? Well this…read morewas one of those times. I'll need to explain this. We recently had the siding replaced on our house. After this was complete, there were a lot of nails poking through the walls in our garage. Our garage is unfinished so the nails that were used to hang the siding came through to the inside of our garage between the studs. For aesthetic and safety I decided to hang some wall panels which is another story. Anyhow after the panels were up this is where the idea comes into play. I wanted to give the panels some support behind them but didn't want to pull them off the walls. First I thought about spray foam but then figured that I would probably need dozens of cans or more. So then I thought what about packing peanuts? I thought this was a great idea. So I started looking on line and at office supply stores. While I found some, the price was more than I thought it should be. That is when I found TwinSource. A 14 cubic foot bag was just over $20 or about a third of the price anywhere else. I thought how could the price be that much better? Did I figure the amount needed incorrectly? Well I placed my order and received a follow up email within a few hours that my order was ready to pick up. TwinSource is located in an industrial building. The process was super simple and my bags were waiting for me when I arrived. Turns out TwinSource is more than peanuts. They have packing supplies, paper products, cleaning supplies, food service supplies, boxes and more. I was very impressed with my experience and will certainly look to TwinSource for any future needs!

I am often asked to solve complex problems and due to the variety of thing one can find here, I can often find a solution. My suggestion is that you need to know enough about what you are doing before buying materials here. If you are a casual DIYer, you can get into some trouble as what you buy is not returnable. Specifically, here is what I love about BMO. I have purchased all of my millwork for several projects and saved a considerable amount of money. I have purchased prehung doors for both interior and exterior applications and have saved quite a bit of money and found just the right thing. My clients were happy and they saved money on their materials. Lately they have begun offering inventoried cabinetry for kitchens and baths. You don't have a great selection of colors and styles however, what they offer is a good quality for the price.
