I already knew there were standards. The only thing that makes sense is someone had a hard on for Lowes. Lowes doesn't own mills. Walk in to any other Lowes, Home Deport or other lumberyard and you'll find the same results like as small as 1-1/4".

An old one. A 2000 model which I will nevet get rid of. Back before the EPA mandates on diesel and it got 21mpg and 19mpg pulling a heavy travel trailer. Two guys I work with got one the same time in 2000 and they still drive them everyday. Oneboughta 2014 and paid right at $50k for it. He drove...

The Dr. you go to see is younger than you are.

Originally 2x4 were to 2" x 4" and were left rough. Then there was a move right around WWII to a milled finish (which is the smooth finish you see now on dimensional lumber). They took a standard 2x4 and milled it on all 4 sides. That's why you see it referred to as S4S. Surface 4 sides, you can...

Thanks that is good news. I have never had a car with heated seats. I wish I had cooled seats in my truck at times tho but it's not a deal breaker at all. We have speed limits here which go from 70to75. But I commonly drive 80-85 and often get passed by law enforcement that waves. Of course that...

I was lucky. I did own a business. Never really had that much issue, but basically our entire job was to keep the largest employer in the state running and happy so we really never got much pushback.

There are standards for how small a 2x4 can be at a given moisture content, I'm not sure if this entered in here or not. But a 2x4 isn't 2"x4" at any period now even before stuck in the kiln or allowed to air dry. I guess I'm probably the only person in the world who went to college to get a...

Wait till they find out a 2x4 stud for an 8' wall is 92-5/8" long and a 8' 2x4 is 96" long.

Considering looking at a new car now that I will be going back to the city. Will keep my trucks as well but more of my driving will be either in town or commuting out of the city on a regular basis. Single, no kids and over 40. So I don't need a car for 4 people etc..The 370Z interested me but...

About to go back to work soon, which necessitates moving (at least part time) back to the city. I have been on paid leave much of the year. Anyway I'm 43 and have dated the same woman for 19 years. Name a site that caters to mostly professionals and not a quick hook up site if you can...

My last house still had non milled dimensional lumber. Could still smell the turpentine smell on the studs in a 100 year old house. Gotta love longleaf.

You realise that's exactly what CA is trying to do, they are pushing GPS units and tracking to track how far you drive instead of paying a mileage tax thru gasoline and instead based on how many miles you actually drive. Too many fuel effecient cars in CA apparently.

Assuming everyone who has internet acess uses netflix.

They didn't sue to get a disclaimer. They sued for the cash payout. The disclaimer was added to protect thema gainst more morons in the future who managed to figure it out for the last 100 years.

Even rough cut 2x4's are not 2"x4". It's not a piece of plastic or milled metal. Measure twice, cut once. It's the same people who complain that the 2x4 has sweep in it is because they cut trees too soon instead of "old growth" (LOL in itself) trees. No, the reason you see a lot of...

Going to sue McDonalds. I'm betting my 1/4 pounder isn't actually a 1/4 pounder once it's cooked lol.

He shows it off pretty regularly, he's actually a salesman for the herbicide and does it to prove how "safe" it is. The brand name is Oust.

I'm made because the judge apparently can't educate himself, someone is going to have to pay for his stupidity. Most likely the consumer. Even most 2x4's are actually 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" but they're even that. It's a natural product so I guess the next person is going to sue that it's actually...

Depends on the mill. Some mills burn it to power the mill, some mills sell it for a vartiety of stuff. Some use it in paper and stuff like MDF. The new mills will iterally take a tree top that's barely larger than a rouge cut 2x4 and cut out the outside part leaving only the 2x4 left. Chip in...

Because of the way the legal system works in this nation now will be out measing all kinds of shit that they never knew what they actually measured and were sold with a nomimal size as a label.

Because when you first bought 2x4's they were milled at all. People wanted milled lumber and mills were already set to rough cut a 2x4 that was 2"x4". But we couldn't have that so they just milled more off. I still don't know why people don't udnerstand the word nominal.

Apparently the word "normal" isn't taught anymore. Back to your nanny state that has to explain how everything works to you. A 10" beam isn't 10" either. It's called nominal, look up the word.

It's not labeled 2"x4". It's labeled as a 2x4, period. Waiting for this ass hattery to reach our industry. I work in steel. Ocasionally we sell to the general public when someone wants a drop (a piece we cut off of something else). Not all 10" beams are 10" deep. Some are 9-7/8" and...

Because it's incredibly stupid. Suprised they didn't get them on the length as well. An 8' 2x4 isn't 8' either. Normally you get an extra 1/4 to 3/4" of an inch to work with. I'm angry because eventually people who have half a brain wind up paying for it.

You're gonna be pissed when you find out 1/2" plywood isn't a 1/2" thick either. Maybe they should learn to read, nowhere does it say a 2"x4" piece of lumber or mention inches at all. A 12 volt car battery puts out a hell of a lot more than 12 volts as well, maybe I should sue......yeah maybe.

Been that way a long time, you rough cut it to 2x4 and mill 1/4" off each side give or take. You aren't buying 2"x4" or even paying for 2"x4". It's just a name.

Let me off the planet please. Hoping this is sarcasm but I can't find it. CA Judge May Have Created Huge Challenges For Contractors Been that way a VERY long time in the US. That's a rough cut nominal size before final dimensioning/planing (tho we do both at the same time now). Not a lawyer...

Herbicides and pesticeds are two differnet things. I know a guy who got sprayed a few times with overspay while spraing pine seedlings which they do a LOT now with southern yellow pine. The next day he can kill the grass in his yard if he takes a leak on it.

Come and gone apparently. UPS planes in the air now if you look at the sites to track what is in the air live. Probably nothing but when you see 9/11 and grounded planes seems odd.

The time posted in that came and went. It's 6:47 Zulu now. No idea, but why just UPS planes is what seems odd.

regardless of destination. 9/11 scare or what? Says airline computer issues but that seems odd but I admit I'm not knowleagable about how often this occurs. Just a coincidence but what could cause them to ground ALL UPS flights? Someone suggested that airline computer issues was code for a...

This has been a while by sister lived in a very rural area. They liked it a lot. They lived adjacent to farm/open land in a town of 325. They built some sort of low income housing on it. The nearest store is 25 miles away, no gas station either. It went to shit rather fast. They literally had to...

As long as you don't vaccinate them they will be OK.

I don't like the smell of chicken shit and in some cases human shit sprayed on crops, that's why I live where people farm trees. Plant once, thin in 10 years and cut em down and start over 15 after that. Also the land I own that I grow trees on that is income producing I only pay $3/acre...

I would be more worried that you live next to land that hasn't been developed, if you think a farm is bad just wait. I live in a very rural area and the odds of the land around me becoming developed anytime soon is very low, but if you live near a town/metro area that is expanding just be...

I lived north of Pensacola for a year in a rural area. I liked it. Town was close. It was big horse country. My neighbor had his own 4 hole golf course, a pair of par 3's and a par 4 and a 5. I played on it every so often. Life wasn't bad at all.

There's a guy with a radio show who actively encourages his audience to SWAT people who own firearms, open carry, conceal carry etc...in the hopes they have a shootout with the cops. This Deranged Radio Show Host Wants To Trick Police Into Killing Open Carrier Protesters - Bearing Arms...

I guess I missed it, but unless you already work for them how do they even know what you make now to compare it to? Someone once tried to make me an offer based on what they thought my house cost. LOL. I guess because I have never worked in the corporate world I never worried about. Ask what...

Bust on the job offer. They didn't want to put a contract in writing. I do everything on long term contract. Once took a job and worked one day and got paid for a year because they were idiots. Oh well, still on paid leave for a few more months.
