Suspicions confirmed - all the good wood is now going to Florida instead of Japan and China!!

I picked through a stack of 2x4's in HD a couple weeks ago, gave up and went across the road to Lowes and found some that made it 5 miles home without turning into corkscrews, but it was a close getting them nailed in quick enough.

Making up dollys or storage devices is fun and wood splinters are a break from the usual steel slivers
