Sounds as if you have an "older" home. I run into this crap all of the time. My house was built back when a 2x4 really was...2" x 4". It makes for an interesting time trying to do improvement projects, and fit the "new" into the "old".
And yes, 84 Lumber is a good "real" lumber yard. Just. They're starting to lean further into the chain store camp. Still...I stay the hell away from Home Depot, at all costs. Your absolute best bet...is Mom & Pop, if there are still any around you. Good ol' M&P always recieve the lion's share of my business, and show their appreciation for it, more than Home Depot ever will.
