BUY LOCAL

Since the creation of Falcon Renovations we have always tried as hard as we could to buy all of our building materials from local distributors. Sometimes it is hard to not go to Home Depot.
For lumber we always buy from Liberty Lumber which is located on Magazine. Their service is impeccable and they deliver the lumber. Not all lumber yards will deliver. Anyway, we had a bunch of hardy plank delivered to the Vidacovich's home. The boards were cracked and full of knot holes. We made full use of everything as best as we could but ended up throwing a substantial amount of wood away. Liberty has a no return policy on wood. I don't know if they should be held accountable. Could have been that it was a badly milled batch of wood. This house is turning into a money pit.
