The Lowes and HD near me always have their trucks either in maintenance or rented out. It's always a mistake to rely on their availability here. Rebuilding my deck and making raised beds was basically an exercise in begging friends for their trucks
- bryanlarsen 3y agoWe've both always just did the "stick it out the trunk with a flag" or "tie it to our roof rack" thing when getting stuff from HD. But his experience was so good that we decided we'd be better off renting a truck in the future. Hopefully our future experience isn't like yours. Renting on a weekday in January is probably easier than a weekend in the summer.

- speff 3y agoThe delivery solution reminds me of the why-dropbox question. Delivery is fine* if you know exactly the amount you need or are fine with paying for extra materials. There were a few times I needed an extra piece or just needed something else. And yea, I can still just wait for another piece of wood to be delivered - or I could just ask someone who has a truck to help me. *Also Home Depot / Lowes lumber is garbage tier. I don't trust them to just send me whatever 2x6s I select online. If you don't go to the store and actually inspect the wood, you're just gonna get curved pieces.
