go to both HD and L. like HD better. we have a few rentals and always need paint and drywall products. i really like the behr paints from HD. HD employees are for the most part older guys that escaped the contracting downturn in 2008. very knowledgeable and helpful. i buy a little lumber for outdoor projects but never buy sheet goods from them. there is a MacBeath’s hardwood close and if i think they have what i want i go there. they regularly have 12 ply 3/4” paintable birch for $39. same price as HD sells their project grade, 5 ply, football loaded, lots of voids, prone to warp, junk for (did i miss anything).
