Thanks Scott. My wife told me this weekend she sometimes gets tired just watching me work
I'm not a huge fan either, and I know it's more $, but the closest "real" lumber yard is 25-30+ minutes away and my trailer is more of a 2-3 miles away, hopefully no one follows behind me, kind of trailer
(It's only 8' long, rated for 1000 lbs, I drop the gate and use straps to hold the gate up to haul longer stuff, looks super sketchy but works).
Lowes/Home Depot (across street from each other) are only 2.7 miles from my house with a nice back road to them.
I also know stud lumber does not like to be outside in the weather not firmly attached to something, and with the speed I moved on this, it was better to pick up 30-40 boards each weekend, get the straightest ones, use them, then repeat next week. 8' 2x4's hold their shape pretty well as long as they're covered for a few weeks... 12' long 2x6's DO NOT. They have a shelf life outside even covered up well, the humidity here can get to anything
