I was gonna say that!! :p

Chains, clips, clamps, heavy pulling tugging things, tie things, inserty things....I guess my favorite would be the aisle marked "Fun Silvery Clippy, Clampy, Pully Things". LOL

Tools and electrical. Sometimes plumbing. Depends on what I am doing.

I found a lot of stuff for a costume I made at Lowe's.

I love Lowe's and Home Depot ... course I like Menards too :) Mostly I leave saddened though for not having enough money or skill to do all the things I want to.

LMAO :rofl:

I'm back to spending my days at the local hardware store... lately I'm stalking the hardware aisle ... door/cabinet/drawer hardware.

I like Home Depot -- mainly have been looking at bathroom and cabinet fixtures recently. We have a sixties-era house that needs some (cheap) sprucing up. When I get time (maybe over Christmas) I plan to update some stuff.

I can't bring myself to go to Lowe's since my stepfather died there in 2001. But I used to like it....

I guess I'm typical of most men, I'll drool over the tools first and then wander through lumber and check prices for the projects I keep putting off. I'll wander the whole place several times if schedules permit though. It's fun to dream using visual aids. LOL Customers included :lust:

Was that just the case of duct tape you walked out with?

My choice of areas that I go to at Lowe's or HD depends a lot on what kind of project I'm in the middle of...lately I've been putting railings up around my back porch (finally bringing it up to codes, something my daddy should have done back when I was little), but for just hanging out & dreaming of what I could get if I had a bazillion dollars, it's the tools area...everything a man needs is right there, hand tools, power tools, routers & bits, sandpaper...

...& all the clamps are there, too...you can never have too many clamps...

lighting and tiles and hardwood floorboards and closet organizers and countertops and cabinet pulls and ceiling fans and giant refrigerators with ice makers and dishwashers and washing machines and dryers and trees and shrubs and flowers and paving stones and fountains.......*sigh* :D
