Southeast Topeka Area – Westlake Ace Hardware – Hero to a Doofus Like Me!

***ATTENTION HARDWARE DOOFUSES LIKE ME!***

As I grill here in the backyard with my free time, I realize I had someone do something for me that was very special…

If you’re looking for some expert hardware advice, come here and ask for Jim Shellenberger. Jim has always been quick to steer me straight. He knows where all the pieces are that you may need, and it turns out most of the time they are pretty cheap or having a sale. 

I know Jim from a long time ago when I worked with his wife at the State. He’s always been friendly to me so when I go in and I have a problem I ask for Jim by name. If he’s there, then I know I will be out in just a few minutes. Of course there are other helpful people, but Jim is the best. Keep that in mind when you go out and work in your garage, you’ll shine!

Check out the problem Jim solved for me with four of these little loop pieces. I was planning to install conduit to run this electric line over a gate. This is the electric fence for our dogs, and instead of conduit, he suggested metal screw loops. Essentially running the wire through these loops. Here’s some pictures.

When I went in, told Jim my plan, and showed him the pictures, this was immediately his suggestion.  It was so easy that he saved a doofus like me about 4 hours and $60!!!

Round of applause for one of Southeast Topeka’s finest gems!
