99¢ Duct Tape is Awesome.

Duct tape is only 99¢. Is it Black Friday in March? No, it’s Menards. Thank you, Menards, for saving the day with 99¢ duct tape. Without it, today I would have been writing about Stihl tools at Northern Tool + Equipment. But I’ll save that one. Today, it’s duct tape.

The Biggest Bath (Non)Event of the Year

You can understand my disappointment when you see the front-of-store photos in this post. No vanities. No faucets. No matching hardware sets. No toilets. No sign of “The Biggest Bath Event of the Year” in the front of the store.
