Oh, one more thing I wanted to add - the mom and pop stores that you referenced... yes their pockets certainly aren't as deep as the big box stores. But the one thing you wil ALWAYS find is people return to the mom and pop store and pay more for the goods (in many cases) because the customer service tends to be superior. I know this is not exclusively true - but the mom and pop stores are competing on something and it typically isn't profit margin per widget.

I learned from my choices, and if I had to do it over again, I'd make a different choice. I wish I would have contacted WI, I bet he knows a good flooring store in the area
