It may be a bit expensive for a hardware store. But they usually have what I need for the jobs I am working on. I am so.

Their prices are comparable and sometimes cheaper then bigger box stores on some lumber items. Their wood is also better quality as far as straightness, crowning, twists and knots. Some items are on the pricier side, but if you drive all the way to Des Moines it's pretty comparable.
