Wingshooting

Email Glitch

Thanks! Dan

We just did a complete basement floor for a small fraction of the cost of tile that looks fantastic… very much looks and feels like true, heavy, EXPENSIVE slate tile.

I think I must be…
TOTALY BIASED! I have been out in Nebraska all week and have visited four ACE Hardwares while out here. Two “Westlake” ACE Hardwares and two “Q.P.” ACE Hardwares.
