Pffttt! I suppose this depends on what city/state you're in - and how well staffed your local HD is - but thanks for the alternative suggestions as I figure if you print this and take it with you, most or all of the products necessary can be found at a variety of hardware stores.
I suppose it helps that I am on a first-name basis with the Manager of my local HD; after the 3-month do-it-yourself remodel of my bathroom (tore it down to the studs - did everything ourselves except the acrylic "liner" of the old steel tub which we couldn't get out of the room without knocking a wall out) along with the complete re-do of my exterior/interior of my 100 year old house, I don't make it 50 ft. into the store without seeing someone who's helped me in the past and always get personal, one-on-one service!
Being that I was there pretty much daily for nearly a year to finish my house, well...you get the idea! No on who helps me is ever short on laughs by the time I'm done with 'em, either; I'm told that my "spin" on just how crazy "real life" can be is quite entertaining - and it doesn't take much to get me started!
I figure it doesn't hurt either to be 5'2", blond and (most of the time, not needed) a bit on the "mouthy" side (wink)
Thanks for the positive affirmation!
