Re- Problem Solved LOL.
It seems that someone at the Hardware Shop doesn't suffer fools so easily. LOL.
Not so handy, handyman Homeowner just informed that a carton of 1,000 nail-holes only cost him a please a thank you and the bloke behind the counter went into the storeroom, got the carton and it STILL has packing tape sealing it as well.
Is he in for a surprise when he opens up the carton....LOL.
