| Hardware Store & Lumber Yards
So beside Home Depot and Lowes, what hardware store do you go?
It's always fun for me to find local hardware stores & lumber yards, so I'm always looking for a new one. I'll start with my list:
- Fischer (Springfield)
- ABC Distributor (Arlington/Shirlington), abcdistributor.net
- Ayers Hardware (Washington Blvd)
- Virginia Hardware (Clarendon) |

There is a hardware store in Ferndale on MD 648, across from the firestation and the old Lucky's (now called something else) that sells all the odd-ball stuff in the world. Any time Ace or home depot or any of the big stores don't have it, they refer you to this place. I just can't recall the name of it at the moment.
We use to live a block up the road from that place and would walk up there any time my Dad needed something hardware related.
My last visit there was to get a replacement cap for my septic tank after I hit it with my lawn mower.

Belle View Shopping Center has a great little hardware store.
They've been great help in trying to refurb a used Mosquito Magnet I picked up at a yard sale... hope that baby works as the weather warms up and the blood sucking bastards move in.
They are also a Weber dealer, so they have a good selection of grill pieces, parts and accessories.
Smitty's Lumber is down Rte 1 closer to Ft. Belvoir. Have not been there personally, but then again I haven't had a need for much lumber lately  |

I also am the fan of the local hardware store for many items. Ayers Hardware (mentioned above) is nice because in addition to being a hardware store, they have many other "household" items. They are more like an old fashioned variety store. |

Another supplier is Greenwald Supply in Springfield. They supply contractors and builders like ABC Distro I mentioned above,but they have also been helpful to us with our small scale projects. Their staff is knowledgeable about the products they stock.
