Stories from Hubbard's Waveland Hardware


David Hubbard is one of the owners of the store. He has a smile for everyone and helpful advice on what is needed for the job, or where to find the item you need.

On his neck, he has a wooden cross. The cross is actually the shape of a hammer laying across a vertical saw. I asked him about it...

Months ago, people working on a local church came in for supplies - a huge list of plumbing things. He inquired what they were trying to do and recommended a compression fitting, instead. This saved them 40 dollars.

The cross was a gift of appreciation form one of the church ladies.
