Randy,

I've heard that there is a difference in quality between the melamine at the big DIY stores and what you order from a lumber yard or place like you mentioned. Do you know if there's any truth to it?



I suspect there is as I'm in the floorcovering biz and I know that, in general, the vinyl, carpet, hardwood, ceramic tile at the DIY stores is a slightly lesser grade than what you get from a floorcovering dealer.



Another reason I suspect so is because I found a lumber yard willing to order one of the nicer finishes of melamine and it was going to cost me about $45 per 4 x 8 sheet. The DIY stores get $25 for the white melamine they sell and I've yet to find one that would order any of the other finishes for me. Kept getting the run around.



I know I've told ya before but I'll say it again, "nice cages."



Later!

Mike
