  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.
