Realizing that using black electrical tape was not aesthetically pleasing to the designer wannabe's eye, I drove myself off to the local hardware, which according to Yelp was the ACE Hardware...

Just love this place! Old fashioned service with friendly and very helpful staff. So much better than Home Depot. This is our very own local store with a wide selection of hardware and lumber....

This place is the best! I wish I knew about them sooner! They give the best service, very personal! Everyone should come here before going to a big box store!
