Home Depot's and Lowe's seem to pop up on street corners like Starbuck's these days. If these mega-stores are not your cup of tea, try driving up the coast of Southern Maine and stopping in on two locations: The Old House Parts Company (http://www.oldhouseparts.com/) and Portland Architectural Salvage (http://www.portlandsalvage.com/) (http://www.portlandsalvage.com/) . Renovators and Do-It-Yourselfer's will be so glad they made the trip.
