I found a rotted fascia board and decided to replace it…why not, I can just run to Home Depot or Lowe’s and grab a new one, right? Rain was coming so just knock it down, grab a new one and install it. To my surprise, neither HD nor Lowe’s had the size I needed within a 50 mile radius. Luckily, a quick check online showed that McCoy’s in Bee Cave had what I needed.
I stopped by and couldn’t find the board I needed anywhere in the store. A very nice man assisted me and explained the process. I made my purchase and even the friendliness of the cashier was great. She told me where to drive and park and how to pick up my order.
Where I docked a star was the lumber lot process. The day I arrived was the day that the narrow entrance to the lumber lot was partially blocked by a semi truck with a huge load of lumber. I drove around him and parked, handed my ticket to the guy in the lot and while he was getting my order I was asked to move my truck a few times. I complied, received my board but discovered that the exit was now blocked by the semi truck. It wasn’t the end of the world but I had to wait until the driver moved the truck so I could exit. I think a better process for small trucks or a wider gate would be a huge help. I don’t want to slow down their business, but being blocked and stuck in the lumber lot is not on the schedule when rain is in the forecast and I have a board to replace.
Overall, a very good experience. Very friendly and knowledgeable people. Just that entry/ exit thing with the big truck dinged my experience. ~Michael
