We’ve been putting pictures up. Inevitably there’s the odd hole that needs filling so off to Home Depot I went to buy some Polyfiller. No luck finding it so I asked. The conversation went something like this:
“Hello, I’m looking for Polyfiller.”
“Grunt. Eh? What’s that?”
“It’s what you use to fill small holes in walls.”
“You want a drill? They’re in Aisle 14”
“No I’ve drilled a hole in a wall in the wrong place. Now I want to fill it.”
Blank Stare. Then sound of penny dropping. He hands me something.
“That’s almost right but that’s for filling metal….”
(Go to beginning of conversation and repeat several times)
Needless to say we never gor there but I eventually found it myself. You’d have thought I just asked for moon rocks.
Turns out the stuff is called Spackle here. Who knew that?
