I'm a big fan of Home Depot for projects and I love working on my house. I find more project oriented parts there but shop at both home improvement stores as I'm doing investigation in what I want to improve or repair.
I've done all sorts of electrical, plumbing, landscaping and different types of random projects.
The employees at this home depot are awesome when I have had to ask questions. I've had returns with no issue and received answers to questions when I've had them. They also have classes but I found the classes are product specific so do your research as always when doing anything around the home.
