Bruce, advice well taken. We HAD Grainger locally until about a year go. I still have two place in my home town, Gaffney, which is about 20 miles from me. I'll visit them sometime next week. In the meantime,goneagain, I will make yet another trip to Lowes. As much as I hate going in there I'm learning my way around

...and Bruce, your right about the thickness. I want it thick enough but I don't like the big step plates ect. If all else fails I'll put the rubber strips on as shown in an earlier post. This just goes to show how many options are out there if we really look and ask questions. Thanks fellows.
