Lady's may benefit as well, as you can now antagonize your man even further.

Funny, I was thinking about positing this very same article.

Always buy the curly maple 2x4x8 studs, even though they're a little bit pricier.
You'll rest easier at night knowing that your buried studwall is the best money can buy... LOL! :)

You're not allowed to read this thread.
You might get "idears". :)

Speaking as someone of the incredibly cheap persuasion: scrounging nice cut offs from constructions sites is a good way to get building supplies of up to 7’ or so.
Right now I’m hoarding enough to start a new shed....

I reviewed the article.
It's OK, but it doesn't really flesh out the dinosaur correctly.
There's a lot in it that an ordinary person wouldn't use.
Perhaps I should write a tome or two on the subject.

There are many furniture plans that use dimensional lumber so knowing the differences between it all is helpful. Bloggers like Ana White post the plans for free and they are often knock offs of Pottery Barn or Restoration Hardware pieces. We love it and it has saved us so much money on beds, storage pieces and even toys. Our daughter’s play kitchen is the cutest one I have ever seen and it cost a fraction of what a store bought one would cost.
Dimentional lumber isn’t just for framing anymore:-).

If you want to do it properly....never buy from a store....get rough cuts with “true” measurements ...there are wood mill’s everywhere....but then again I am in Maine where people offer tree’s for free if you remove them....

Dimensional lumber isnt just for framing anymore:-). No, it's not. :)
I built two access ramps this afternoon from scrap dimensional, AC2 and CDX ply.
Free is good. :)

Last week I had a Douglass Fir floor installed even though there was no man around to antagonize.
To: 1_Rain_Drop
Four inch boards?
Doug is very soft - but it has a pleasing look & feel.

In the olden days people had a mobile saw mill come in and cut up OAK into real 2x4s, not these 1 1/2x 3 1/2 pine you get at the lumber yard.
I can tell the difference when I drive a nail into them.
To: Ruy Dias de Bivar
and cut up OAK into real 2x4s... Dude - that's MANLY construction.
