Raunhu Plywood And Hardware

If you’re driving down Sitabari Road, you’ll come across Raunhu Plywood And Hardware. It’s a typical hardware store where things are stacked up to the ceiling. We have sheets of plywood leaning against the walls and boxes of hinges and screws everywhere. The smell of cut wood is pretty strong when you walk in. I spend most of my day behind the counter or climbing ladders to find a specific size of handle or a certain type of glue. It’s a bit of a maze inside, but we know where everything is. People from the local construction sites come in early in the morning to grab what they need for the day’s work. It gets pretty hectic around ten o’clock. We don’t have a fancy website or a catalog; people just come in and show us what they’re looking for, or they bring a broken piece of hardware they want to replace. Sometimes the deliveries arrive and we have to block the aisle for a bit while we unload. It’s a small operation, mostly family and a couple of helpers. We’ve been on Sitabari Road for a while now, and we know most of the regulars by name. It’s a noisy place with the sound of the traffic outside and the constant shuffling of boards. We just focus on keeping the shelves stocked so the locals can get their projects finished without having to drive across the city for a few screws.
