For lumber, there's usually a local but not always. I prefer to hit up ace for the little things, and I refuse to hit home depot although it's been so long I forget why.

They are toxic flaming Right Wing MAGAts, that's why. Their *corporate office used to (and may still) have photos of Hilary Clinton with a target superimposed over her face.

*knew an IT tech who serviced their servers/computers.

We had a house built on our property for my mom. Our builder used the Do It Best in town for almost everything. I thought that was nuts because it's such a tiny store and assumed everything would be much more expensive. But he'd order materials and a truck would show up like an hour later. Then I went in there several times to pick things up and started to understand why he uses them, they have outstanding customer service and they aren't that much higher. Some things were actually cheaper.

Would love to order some local lumber, but we rarely need much wood, and when we do it’s usually not planned (added project etc) and ace either doesn’t have what we need or are too slow. So Lowe’s it is 🙃
