We probably have some good indie lumber yards around this town. There is 
one local chain that isn't an option: Sutherlands. I'm not going to buy 
lumber from a bunch of right-wingers.

There is a really good indie hardware store in the old Ranchmart center 
on the border of Leawood and Overland Park. I forget their name, but 
they have a staff that is always eager to help you.

You guys will get a kick out of this: I'm currently doing my community 
service at a local Habitat for Humanity Restore. That's right, doing my 
"hard time" at the hardware store.
