地道美語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力播客:The Home Improvement Store

When you own a house, there is always something that needs work . I have been putting off repainting the garage and I decided that I would do it this weekend.
I went to the home improvement store early in the morning to get the supplies I’d need. I walked into the huge store and began looking for the paint department . I walked through thegarden center and the lumber department but couldn’t find the paint supplies. I tried to find a store employee to ask about it, but there was no one in sight . I walked down theplumbing aisles and finally found the paint department.
I looked at the paint swatches and found the color I wanted. I took a number to have my paint mixed. When my number was called , I gave the employee the swatch of the color I wanted and he told me he would call me again when it was ready. In the meantime , I got some brushes and rags . After about 20 minutes, the employee called my number and I picked up my paint. I took the paint and the other supplies and got into a checkout line .
After all of that , I was exhausted . And I hadn’t even started painting yet! Maybe I’ll do that next weekend.
