Home Depot (Rant)

I'm not a fan of Menards. To get any lumber, you have to buy it in store, then go drive around out back, load it up, get checked on the way out of the yard, and then go home. By contrast, in HD, you just load it up on the orange carts as its near the cash registers already, buy it right there, wheel it out to your truck, and boom, done. Much simpler, much easier, don't have to walk all over God's green earth and back again just to get some lumber.

That and you can pick the decent stuff. The places that make you go out back will usually load it for you and there's not really any time to start picking and choosing. Depending on the project I might not care but if I'm doing an actual wood working project then a 2x4 with bark on it or too twisted is not ideal.
