Yeah, I found out last night that Lowe's and Home Depot do not sell the old stuff here in Louisiana anymore. I just got the pressure treated lumber. I also found out that Lowe's does not carry Stainless Steel Staples, but Home Depot does. The only problem is that they sell them in boxes of 5000 for 199.99 or a box of 1000 for 69.99. It sucks because I will probably only use about 100 of them and I will probably never use them again. Oh well. I was also a little dissapointed with the selection of outdoor carpet at both places, but settled on some.
After running to all of the stores, I only had time to cut the carpet, but not to put it on the wood. I will let you know how that goes tonight.
