Thank you so much for having exactly what we needed! We were hooking up lights on our vintage trailer and realized we needed a whole new wiring harness! You had it in stock & spur of the moment we were able to completely re-wire our trailer. We really appreciate you being there.

On a Saturday, @445pm, I called for availability and price of painters sheeting. They had what I needed, at a fair price, but.... Apparently they close at 4 on Saturdays. He asked where I was coming from (Yoncalla) and said.... Come on down. I'll wait for ya. That was Soo Friggin Awesome of him! A man for the people.
