My husband and I have been trying to redo our front porch. For two years, it has been ripped apart, but we are unable to get the screws and bolts that we need to put it back together. I would have never believed that so many items could be on backorder for so long. I never would have thought they could have so many shortages. EVeryone is blaming it on the pandemic, but what are they going to blame when that outlet is closed. Maybe they can blame it on so many people who are always stocking up on things they don’t really need. I’m not sure that is the case with stainless bar wire, but my brother said he couldn’t find any. He told me he didn’t say it was unavailable, but he couldn’t find what he wanted. Not being able to find any, is the same as it isn’t available, isn’t it? I asked if he had looked online, and he looked at me oddly. He wanted to know if I thought he was too stupid to think about looking online for stainless steel bar wire. I didn’t think he was stupid, but he wasn’t always Captain Obvious either. He often forgot to look at the obvious and went the difficult route. He turned to mom and told her I was picking on him again. I couoldn’t help but give him my best mom look. My 50 year old brother was tattling to our mother that I was picking on him? I flicked his ear and told him to look online. He may be able to find the stainless steel bar wire he was looking for.
