What I want to know is, who at Lowes donated to a republican cause. Home Depot or any number of lumber sellers have been calling the 3.5 x 1.5 a two by four for as long as I’ve been alive, and I’m sure well beyond that. Are they paying too?
Next time you go into Home Depot, you will notice that all their lumber, plywood, osb has the nominal size(2x4) and then the actual size right below it.
FYI, Lowes has appealed this settlement based on everything discussed on this board. This settlement came from some crazy judge in San Francisco that had probably never held a 2x4 in their life. It most likely will be overturned.
