RE: Paint Between the Lies

Bunnings is now a place where you can go get things like curtains, pet food, cleaning supplies, and of course, snags; but the overwhelming majority are buying, I don't know what there.

Last time I went in, I was in and out in about 35 seconds. Looked up what I needed, found the aisle, found the store map. Went in, grabbed what I wanted, and through the self check out.

The door greeter was quite surprised to see me with so much crap in my hands on the way out after such a short period of time in the store.

It was only silicon tubes and a knife; but it was what was needed.

The equivalent here is Bauhaus, but there are a few big chains around. They rarely have sausages. They tend not to be very busy, until the weekend and then it always depends on the time of year. Here it is spring now and people are prepping their gardens, so the hardware stores and nurseries are full.

Bauhaus

This triggered me back to my University Days learning about the original design house. So sad to know that it is a Finish hardware store chain now, instead of a world-leading art and design institution.

Nah, it is a German chain. Not sure of the origins otherwise. Will have to look it up!
