There is a special fastener squirreled away for when the day comes that it is needed, no trip to the store will be required. On that day, your life will be complete.
The other day I helped a friend furnish his new house that was next to a german equivalent for a home depot. Like, his garden fence has a gate into their parking lot. You bet I walked over there for single shims with a cup of coffee in hand and after three days the cashiers collectively grinned when I strolled in.
That’s exactly what I was expecting! I wrote down everything I needed. Took some pictures. Went to a buddies house and had him look at my list and pics. Then went to the store, bought the water heater and pieces, and got it all in one shot.
Awesome! I replaced my water heater a couple years ago - and managed to do it with just a single trip to Home Depot! Felt like a goddamn boss.
One trip? So the legends are true? It can be done?

Bullshit - it can’t be done.
1st rip get the water heater and all the recommended parts.
2nd trip take the parts that don’t fit back and get the “right” ones.
3rd trip take the “right” ones back and get the part you really need.
The 4th trip so the worst. You stop go to a local hardware store because you need a special part and pay out the bose for it.
The 4th trip to the local hardware store is cuz you can’t be seen back at Lowe’s / home despot for a 4th time today.

Ouch. And yes. Exactly.

It’s the closest I’ve ever come to greatness.
🥺 I was 3 trips
I think three trips for a water heater install scores “birdie” (-1), since a water heater install is usually considered a par 4.
Thank you kind sir
