: The manger said that they just quit carring the item, no real

: Maybe there is another answer, after all the answer the "manager"
: you talked to gave was bs (imho). I mean "no reason" we just
: stopped?? Sounds like he didn't know and (like many people who don't
: know), made up some half asked answer. Home Depots in L.A. area carried
: 1/2" particle board and MDF when I was there (at 3 locations) looking
: for ply 2 weeks ago. "Managers" and other people who should know
: give me bs all the time, maybe the Home depot you went to was just out of
: stock, because particle board is at least 1/3 CHEAPER than MDF and has
: uses that do not require MDF's qualities, why stop carrying it other than
: they don't have room for it AND MDF? Think it is either that (and so what
: if the customer has to pay more for MDF if he really wants particle) or
: they are just temporarily out of stock.

Someone I know purchased pressure treated lumber for a fence project at Home Depot. As he was being assisted loading his truck, he made a remark about one board being a lot heavier than the others. The Home Depot employee went on to explain how the board "had more pressure" than the others.
