    "perp" ? There is no "perp", it's not a legal matter to begin with. It's just good old bullying, which the left assholes (either CNN or antifa thugs) have so much issue with, but like so much to use when it suits them...

    "SWAT team dispatched at every construction site in the city"... Why ? One of the way to tie a sill plate to concrete is to use a powder-actuated nailer.

  13. wait for late summer, or mid-winter, and your 23x44 will not be 23x44 anymore. learn about the material you're working with, and don't be such a dumb fuck... heck a colleague has to re-plane a wood slab every few year because of the natural warp...

  15. Re:Trade size vs actual size on Home Improvement Chains Accused of False Advertising Over Lumber Dimensions (consumerist.com) · · Score: 1

    probably not in the past 100 years...

  16. if you do any kind of precision work with wood as a base material, you'll use oversized lumber and joint / plane it down. Framing can afford 1/8" to 1/4" rough play, as long as the final product is square/plum/true.

  17. hint: an 8' ceiling doesn't use 8' studs.

  18. also, if you have 8' ceiling, the stud will only be at most 7' 9", as you have to account for the sill and top plates.

  19. 1/4" over 8' (including /. guesstimate) is within the expected longitudinal shrinkage range of soft wood.

  20. Re:This will be dismissed on Home Improvement Chains Accused of False Advertising Over Lumber Dimensions (consumerist.com) · · Score: 1

    Still, the numbers I'm reading seem to indicate around a 1/2" of shrinkage is possible in about 8'.

    longitudinal shrinkage is about between 0.1% and 0.2%. Over 8', that would be 0.25" top.

    It was likely better since it was from older slower growing trees. In fact if you can find an old 2x4 that is straight, you can be pretty sure it will stay that way. New ones might still warp a little, or more than likely come with a bit of warp.

    Of course, the old wood has been drying for years, whereas the new lumber is still pretty green and will dry over time.

  22. do you realize that even in the 1910's a 1" board was actually 13/16" ?

  23. Define "long ago" ?

    A simple "2x4" with small letters "actual size xxxxxx" would make things clear to everyone.

    If you need such markings, you probably stay away from doing any framing...
