Yeah, Ferguson is the largest plumbing dist in the US. We ahve so many seperate companies that I cannot even name them. We are all over seattle and Wa in general. I work out of the West Seattle and Shoreline Branches.
I used to be a pretend Sparky. Yes it is an international codename.
I was a maintenance electrician for Genie industries in Redmond and Woodinville, Then I traveled the country as a Field service tech for a CNC machine tool company. Then went back to a steel shop as the Maintenance Lead and Sparky when we decided to start a family.
The real money is in COMERCIAL Electric and plumbig. The residential side is so cut throte that no one makes any money except the builder. Same with HVAC and all of the residential trades.

To be honest, Keller usually has more of out trim out supplies in stock.

You are probably right. What is really funny is the amount of business that Keller and Ferg do on the backside. We buy and sell stuff with Keller all the time to satasify customers.
