With the beautiful weather we are finally experiencing, and the desire to get out in the yard and work, last Saturday, I decided to attend Belle Plaine Lumber’s Open House.

First I wanted to wish them well on their new adventure (formerly GCI Lumber) and next I wanted to get some lumber for my “projects”.

I was surprised to find that they carry much more than lumber and I was able to pick up a couple other items.  I was made to feel so welcome that I realized small town stores like the lumber store are falling by the wayside as it has become a habit to shop in larger towns in larger stores. However, a nice welcome and free local delivery brings it down to real people appreciating your business.

If you stop in, Doug or Amy will explain the name change to Belle Plaine Lumber and give you a tour on what’s available in the store besides lumber.
