Question: What do you do when you want to hang some Elfa® shelving but they don't make laminated shelves in the necessary length?
Answer: You attempt to make your own with a little help. (OK, a lot of help.)
Which is how I came across Ronnie at the Home Depot. He is in fact a supervisor in the tool department and yet was happy to cut a board in one-foot lengths for me, offering helpful tips for drilling the holes to the correct depth.
Then, there's the accent. My subconscious was connecting to him like a friend I hadn't met yet before my brain caught up and said, "Hey, this guy sounds like he's from New York!" Sure enough. Well met, former East coast resident.
Assistance with a smile. Helping me feel slightly more confident in tackling an unfamiliar project than I felt when I walked in. A little bit of old home week. Here's your award.
