Ok, well I am going to go ahead and make the trek to a different HD and find the right stuff. It just seems so dumb to live across the street from HD and have to go to a different one 30 mins. away
But the HD across from me is a joke....they call it a "new kind of depot" and do not carry much building supplies (not even 2x4's!!!). If you need tiles or tropical plants though, you have quite the selection. It should be called "Home Depot Lite"...
