Actually, I didn't think it was that his prices were high, I thought it was that Middletons were low. I've purchased a lot through them just because they're local and convenient, and I never really got the feeling they were expensive. I tore down and put an entirely new roof on my grandfathers barn and bought all my materials there. In fact, if they had roof trusses I wouldn't have even shopped around
. However, I'm glad they didn't.
