  Entire stock as of 5/6/24. I didnt even notice it was smaller than usual, busy trying to find the only-slightly warped boards.

    Good lumber these days is becoming hard to find. I think it is mostly due to the lumber companies trying to pump out a ton of lumber to mean demand.

      I’d say it’s degradation of the market’s quality after all the forced cuts we took in 2020

        Nah, lumber was already garbage quality at the big box stores before Covid.

        Maybe

        I just know quality is down and price is up
