His response was "No, we assemble it here and you bring it home pre-assembled." Me "Seriously?" Him, "Yeah Why?" Me "So if that is the case just how do you suppose I transport it, it's 10' x 12'?" Him, "Yeah, it is pretty big and probably wouldn't fit on a flat bed." Me "So do you guys rent choppers so I can fly it to the house. Him "Ah no" Me "OK, well thanks anyway." At this point he was not amused but just how does Lowes expect a person to transport this monstrosity?
