My dad was a hoarder of small parts, and as a result I can't remember the last time I had to go to a hardware store for nuts and bolts, etc. I have 3 generations of tools in my garage, from my materrnal grandfather, my dad and myself.
My mom always told my dad, "I hope I'm the one that goes first, because I don't want to clean all this stuff out." It didn't turn out that way.
