I bought a couple thousand feet of wide plank Hickory Hardwood Buddy's has in stock. I ran into problems installing it myself. The sales gal came out and gave me a $40 hygrometer to measure humidity and educated me on the proper strength of the nail gun. The sales gal, Tammy, came out after her work on a Saturday night and helped me for an hour. I got a fair price but the service is why I'm writing this. I tried to buy a lower grade wood at Lowes and could not get waited on. I doubt anyone from Lowes helps me out if I have trouble nailing it down. Buying local has its advantages.
