What is your favorite? Home Depot? Lowes? Menards? of the big box stores. I would like to also put a plug in for Ace Hardware and some of the Mom & Pop shops while we are at it.
But of the Big Boxes, where do you go the most? Does it matter? It seems like men like Home Depot, women prefer Lowes and I am a Menards shopper.

I asked earlier - has anyone had much luck getting a good match on touch up paint. I've heard you can take a piece of the old paint in - and they get it pretty darned close.
yep, that's how it's done. We took in some wallpaper once. They got it spot on first time. It was nice, and it was a small bit on the wallpaper (testing, 1, 2, 3...).
You use Menards most and I know why--hehe. Remember, we've run into each other there.
But I think all three have pretty much the same stuff. I've had it in for Home Depot for a long time, because when you need help, there's almost no help to be had. Lowe's is getting just as bad. Press the little red button, and wait. And Wait. As long as you're buying right from the contract spot, it's hard to find anybody at Menard's too.
But if you go to Ace, you get the right tool or the right screw for the job. And they repair your screens when the dog puts a hole in it! (sigh--again this year...darn rabbits!). Did you say you wanted a dog?
Stick with the Mom and Pop stores. The "big boxes" treat their employees like crap. Besides the smaller business really appreciate the business and you get better service.
