It’s the 21st century, and convenience is all around us. Need a screwdriver? Amazon Prime is there. Some paint? A pair of rubber work gloves? It’s all available online. But one thing that’s in short supply is expertise, and for help with tricky DIY projects, locals turn to the experts at Ace Hardware. Friendly and approachable staff are willing to lend a helping hand – and some helpful advice – to those looking to caulk a bathtub, change a lightbulb or plug a leak. Some things might be available on the internet, but hands-on knowledgeable advice is not – and when you’re dealing with power tools, that’s worth a lot.
