Why We Do This

July 25, 2025

Because we believe every person deserves to feel capable, even if they've never picked up a wrench before. George grew up in the store, learned from his dad, and now shares what he knows — one project at a time.

No pressure. Just practical help, a little humor, and the kind of advice you'd get from a neighbor who’s been there.
