I went to Lowe's today to pick up an assortment of materials; a 1 micron
water filter, a toilet handle, a tube of butyl calk, a gallon of Snow
Roof, a 3" self-closing RV trailer dump fitting, and a 3x2 curb mount
Velux skylight.

I ended up getting the toilet handle. None of the other items were in
stock. What kind of building supply store doesn't stock butyl calk?
Last month I went there looking for a quad 20 breaker, and they didn't
stock those either. The irritating thing is that, when Lowes built
their store, a local building supply went out of business, but I could
buy all the stuff at the local building supply in one stop.

Ahhh , must be time for a Big Box Bash-a-Thon....Been a few weeks so I guess
it's time...The Big Box Haters need an "atta boy" now and then from other
haters to keep that "warm and fuzzy feeling" going...It most usually happens
after passing a full Home Depot , Lowes or Walmart parking lot and they get
that "left out feeling" or feel they are missing something...An "atta boy"
from others that refuse to shop at the big boxes and a few BS horror stories
(like the one above) about past experiences and the left out feeling
dissipates , for a while.... Therapy for BBDS ..(Big Box Derangement
Syndrome)

No past experiences here, Bubba. That trip to Lowes was today. If they
stock everything you want, good for you. You apparently don't do much
around the house.
