    All these stores have easy websites.

    I look up any purchase and have them text me the location.

    I even look up my dinner at any restaurant.


    Some deliver for nothing.

    Let your fingers do the walking was an AT&T 1962 campaign I bet we all remember.

    A cibachrome paper drum for 16x20 prints work great, if you can find one.

    Sounds like some store employee needs to be shipped to Alaska.

    Well ... if that's what it takes for him to figure out what ABS pipe is. ... One weekend I needed a P-trap for below the sink. Couldn't wait for a serious store to open. So I went into one of these home center operations and asked the fellow stocking the plumbing aisle which aisle the tubular fittings were in. He gave me a blank stare. Then I asked him where the P-traps were. "Pee - what?" No, not that kind of pee. So finally, I asked, Hey, where are those things that look like saxophones? Bingo. He took me right to them.

    That's what you get for asking a musician!

    There's also the Amazon option--you can get a four-foot section for a bit over $16.00 (in addition to test-plugs and the like) if your big box stores are inconvenient.

    It's been a long time since I sold my 1978 VW Rabbit, but Internet pictures of the Golf look like it's configured similarly. I transported several long items in the Rabbit. Fold down (or recline fully if it's a four door) the front passenger seat and fold down the rear seats. Tie object firmly in place, with a red flag at its back end. Tie down rear hatch. Done.

    Coulda been done, Sal, but I've been dealing with some mobility issues lately and don't want to push my limits. As if 12x20 isn't enough already.
    2015 VW Mk7 GTI, so, yeah, a Wabbit basically. A wascally wabbit...

    A four foot section for sixteen bucks????????????? That's about a 1600% markup from buying 20ft sections wholesale. Why invest in the stock market, or buy lottery tickets? There's obviously a better way to get rich quick.
