on 8/31/2009 Most of the time I don't find Home Depot Lumber very good--I get pretty tired searching thru the lumber pile for some good lumber. I usually go to Lowe's for my Lumber but still buy all my tools etc at Home Depot. The HD Associates just say "that's what the send us"--Not acceptable guy's--
