” You’re right, of course. Sort of like attempting to make a beautiful Mahogany table from cheap plywood. There is, after all, much to be said for genetics and parenting.”
Where did you find cheap plywood?
Good question. I happen to be seventy-six years of age and I found that plywood many years ago.
Back in 1994 We purchased the 60'x120' Commercial Building we now live in. We have been remodeling over the years.
in 1995 We bought our first load of 3/4 inch T&G plywood subfloor. it was 13.95 a sheet.
I just priced some stuff that is supposedly comparable (though its a bit thinner) and its 31.97 a sheet now.
I don't believe there is such a thing as "cheap" plywood anymore.... (grins)
