Pranam What you wrote is not for India. It's the right way of doing it yourself. In Europe and USA there are malls for hardwares to buy in one stroke. Home Depot and Lowe are there. Even one can buy plants there for decorations. Here one has to go all the way from pillar to post and cannot return back if wrong purchase or incorrect. Now all business wishes you to be their slaves and adds only which cannot be done without labors. KR IRS 6921
