Have you ever really thought about those big stores?!?!

I'm thinking that if you were to take your kit down there, they have every thing you need to assemble it!!! They even have those nice wide aisles right next to all the tools hanging on racks, perfect for a work area. (Every night someone sweeps up for you too!)

Need to make a few cuts? Go ahead and grab that table saw!

Hell, some of these places are so big that you could have the thing built before anyone realized you were there! If someone does catch on, just say head office sent you to do a kayak building seminar, and ask them where you can pick up your paycheque!!
