Funny thing is, around here (Long Island) the Lowes store here
fustrates
the hell out of me when you need help. Its not uncommon to wait
20 or so minutes to ask someone if the have something in stock.
You never seem to find anyone is the isles, its always a page here and
a page there.

Over at depot, usually I find someone around that can point me to
the right location. On occasion I had to wait too. Just not every
SINGLE
time like I did at Lowes.

Prices? They are basically the same. Molding quality is a little
better
at Lowes around here. The HD that I usually go to is getting a little
better.

While Lowes around here may seem a little cleaner, I find that HD just
has
more choices on stuff to choose from.
