?? I think of a "home center" as someplace that cuts boards for
customers, and a "real lumber yard" as someplace that sells stock
sizes to contractors who have their own saws and cut their own
lengths!

Wrong. I have never seen a 'real' lumberyard that didn't cater
heavily to homeowners/handymen. Eveyone I do business with is more
than happy to cut to size for me. I have never purchased (yet) from a
"home center" if you are referring to the discount stores.
