I only get requests for them at Christmas when a homeowner puts his light strings up backwards. Plenty of (non)electricians, (homeowners,gardners who think they know electrical)mfgr their own, by using a piece of zip cord to wire two male, two prong plugs togethwer. A good way to elctrocute, friends and family during the holidays.

Paule’ was more family than friend and employer over the years. My earliest memory of Paule’ was when he hired me to work at Whitmier Hardware when I was 15, which would have made him 21… Wow, we made some memories over the years from locking ourselves out of the store (after hours all the lights on and radio blasting and the closest key up in Ashville) making ammonium nitrate and brake fluid bombs, putting rolls of flagging tape up under cars, to the time he made cardboard covers for my headlights and I couldn’t figure out why it was so dark and the time we changed out the comode in the store and my brothers and I thought it would be funny to make a sign and put it out at the base of the telephone pole for everyone to see.... (Paule' didn't have anything to do with that prank, but it was funny) ..... There are enough stories to fill a book or two! He always had a great sense of humor, and knew something about everything, it always amazed me how you could ask him anything and he always had an answer and always saw the best in people. We have been blessed to know Paul and he will be missed!
