To rebuild or not to rebuild?

You should be able to find Steel Studs at Home Depot or other building supply places. I dont know about Lowes though, the one that i used to work at discontinued the line of steel studs we used to carry, sales just were not worth it for the space they took up. In the about one year that i worked there, i re-stocked them one time lol, the rest just sat in top-stock and nobody seemed to buy them. Metal Studs are used in mostly highrise and commercial businesses. Of coarse as soon as we discontinued them and sold them all for $.25 a piece, we had a flood of contractors come in looking to buy them, but we did not have them anymore and when i looked up them up in the Lowes Inventory System, all the other Lowes stores in our region had also discontinued them so the guys were out of luck lol. I just referred them to Ganahl Lumber. If you have a Lowes near you, they might stock them but im not sure, so dont quote me lol

Thanks! I live literally a 5-minute walk from a Home Depot, so I'll check there first. Having a HD so close is certainly handy! Cheers, Rob
