    hardware stores have OLD stock, and they are more expensive. i'd rather use a walmart or amazon. any questions you have can be looked up on youtube.

    You're going to the wrong hardware stores.


    I'm just going to the ones in my city. and every city i've lived in.
    they're all shit.

    I've got a Kitz & Pfeil

    who?

    near me that always knows their shit, and has that
    obscure stuff that I need.

    why do you need them to know their shit? all that stuff is pretty simple. around the house stuff is pretty cut and dried.

    What obscure stuff do you need that a mom and pop hardware store can suit your needs?

    I think so, too. I am sure there are some folks who were there that don't
    know their stuff, but there are some guys who've been working in hardware
    from long before Lowes moved into our area that know a lot about the stuff.

    I always go there for nuts & bolts, or plumbing stuff.

    Me, too. If I only need 6 screws of x size, I would rather only buy 6-8,
    even if that is a little more expensive, per screw, than buy a whole box from Lowes and just have the rest of the box sit around unused forever.

    they can talk the talk and bullshit around, but when it's something i know a lot about and i talk to them i see them trip up.

    and like i said, all you need is youtube pretty much.
    unless you are actually doing construction on your house personally.
