Well, it's time for another house project and we need some lumber. It looks like a trip to Home Depot is in order. I guess that means me sorting through piles of warped boards, loading them one by one onto a wobbly cart, then pushing said cart a few hundred yards to my vehicle, then lifting them one by one into the vehicle, right? Wrong. Screw that.
No, it's time to graduate to a real lumber yard, and you won't even have to leave the city to do it. Markel Lumber is tucked away in a warehouse a block from Jeff Davis and Earhart which is basically like 15 minutes from anywhere in the city. These guys are the real deal. They have pretty much anything you want in any length you want. They'll even load it onto your truck for you and discuss the merits of classic horror movies while they do it. Pull in, tell them what you want, then drive off with a truck full of consistent straight lumber. That's how it's done my friend.
Did I mention that they are also cheaper than the big boxes? Oh yes, 20% cheaper. No excuses folks. Please, get your wood in the right place from now on. read more
