I recently bought a couple of pine 2x6" from Home Depot for door
headers that I had already started with Lowes 2"x6" 's.
The HD 2"x6" did not match the Lowes ones? The Lowes 2"x6' was
1-1/2 x 5-1/2" which too me is a standard 2"x6" ...while the HD's 2"x6"
measured less than 1-7/16" x 5-3/8" width ?
Think I just got a bad batch or is HD selling wood at new standards now?
Another little annoying thing is the HD in my area sells 1"x2" or 1"x3" with rounded edges?
Lowes has square edges. I didnt notice the 1"x2" and 3"
had rounded edges until I got them home. -duh I should have noticed!-
To me .. If I wanted rounded edges I would put the round on myself.
Anyone else notice this?
