Most of the Lumbar yard have gone tits up or deal with commercial it seems. If I need lumber I have better luck at Sutherland's but HD just pisses me off especially the piss poor lighting in the place. For general hardware and advice from knowledgeable folks I go to A&N Hardware in NKC. When I need fittings and such on spur the moment Ace Westlake it a few blocks away. For Harbor Freight it serves a purpose like a one use tool you dont want spend an arm and a leg on. But for heavy use tools you would be a fool to buy there. I did buy a self coiling compressor hose that has been going strong for 5 years +.
And for the fellow starting at HD I came off as snippy and a jerk. I have no problem with working there I would as a second job if I didn't have to travel so much. My problem was people expecting solid advice from the floor personnel. They are simply not trained in every aspect of what is sold in that store.
