***Attention hardware dufus(s) like ME!***
As I grill here in my backyard with this free time, I realize what someone did for me was very special...
If you're looking for some expert hardware advice, go here and ask for Jim Shellenberger. Jim has always steered me straight very quickly. He knows where all the pieces are that you need, and it turns out most of the time they only cost $.45 each.
I know Jim from a long time ago when I worked with his wife at the State, and he's always been friendly to me. When I go in and I have a problem I ask for Jim by name. If he's there, the. I'm out in just a few minutes. There are other people that will help, too, but Jim is the best. Keep that in mind and go out and work in your garage -- and shine!
Check out the problem Jim solved for me with three or four of these little loop pieces. I was going to install conduit to run this electric line over a gate that I have. This is the electric fence for our dogs. Instead of conduit, he suggested metal screw loops and running the wire through these loops. Here's a picture.
What I did is I went in and told him my plan and showed him the pictures, and he suggested this. It was so easy...and he save a dufus like me about 4 hours and $60!!!
