hi warren...Yes you are right the nearest HD is about an hour away I would either have to go into Belleville or Peterborough.
The local BMR or Home hardware is about 15 minutes away in Marmora, but the selection there is not good. The sink does,t
have any hardware attaching it to the counter top just silicone.
Hi Lynners I did eventually get glazing points from HD in Belleville. I thought it was odd that the local "experts" didn't know what they were. When I can get into Peterborough I will get some putty or caulk and fix the sink. Money is a bit tight at the
moment since we have had to get a new furnace. We had just had our oil tank filled at a cost of $1049.00. We have to use
it all up before the oil furnace and tank get removed on March 15th or we will end up having it siphoned out and that would
cost minimum of $300 and we would only get 50c on the dollar for every liter, so after all is said and done we could end
up paying the oil supplier to remove the oil. We cant re use our tank and get new oil furnace as the tank is to old so we decided to go with a Propane furnace as we can have another direct vent type ( no need to have a chimney built). We had
to get a two new Propane tanks and have them filled which cost $665.00. All in all this heating season has cost us "Mucho
Buckos". Sucks when "life" gets in the way of your plans.

Check the Home Hardware website. Anything that is on there, your local guy can order in. No need to go the extra miles when they can get stuff for you.
