If you go to this website's home page and click on "Lake Links" and then "Builders and Home Improvements", I would venture to guess that the owners and employees of the enterprises listed do not share your same enthusiasm with Lowes. In every town or city where the large chains have come in, small local competing businesses have suffered. Enjoy the coffee and donuts and save some money, but don't complain when local businesses go under and there are empty stores in town that don't pay taxes. I for one support the local owner that provides more personal service, lives in the community and pays taxes to my town. Call me stupid if you wish, but I just bought a new snowblower from my local, in town, lawnmower shop and paid $50 more than the same one at Home Depot. The same local owner who supports our town's youth programs, pays our taxes, and employees our locals both full and part time. He fully assembled the machine, provided instructions, helped load it into the truck, and said any problems just give HIM a call. To the fine people on this forum,be careful what you wish for, you may get your wish.
