Lee-- Maybe they never had anyone REALLY let them know they have a POed customer before. Looks like they find out THIS time. Still, I pass two LOWES to get to my HD. Still, I'd not purchase any 'wood' from either of these two. My local lumber yards charge about 5% more for framing lumber but the quality is 50% better-- and they deliver free. Most of the trim & moldings I put up are made in my shop as I can get hardwood and make it for about 1/3 the cost. Besides-- neither LOW or HD have the selection or quality desired. There is a local mfg that gives nice discounts to the trade for quality product and are used for crown and some special items. I do get many supplies there. Stuff like hardware mostly. By watching for advertised sales it is often possible to pick up needed (wanted?) tools there at 10% under the ad price due to their price guarantee. I get all my air nailers that way. I'm not a fan of Rigid shop tools (few besides DeWalt) so thats out too. {{ Damn DeWalt will not put their top table saw on sale and distributors keep all the refurbished ones}} Neither sell top acc like table saw fences. Since I rarely short it is not unusual to have missed this leg down. I suspect it is not finished yet. I trade it often on the long side. I suspect my next buy will be in the 26 range.......
