Not a bad topic for discussion, but why not include local hardware stores in the equation. Ace Hardware (CR 466) may not be your typical hardware store but it's every bit available to all of the Villagers. I'll bet most would agree that the odds are better that you'll find what you need at this local hardware than in either of the home centers. When time is critical and I'm not out to kill a few hours browsing the home centers, I'd rather go to Ace buy what I need, and go home and finish the job. But like so many, I can get lost just browsing in either of the home centers. BTW has anyone purchased florescent fixtures lately from either of the home centers. They're all garbage. The ones in Ace may be $1-2 more but much better made and well worth the difference. How often do you want to replace a florescent fixture and isn't your time worth the difference?
