Is this a joke? (I know it isn’t).
Why would I want to know the dimensions of the unfinished product? I’m not a construction worker, so honestly is there any reason?
Comment on 2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Nominal size is supposed to be 1.5
someguy3@lemmy.ca 6 months agoThe convention is 2" before milling. Milling takes off 1/4", so the result is 1.5".

I can only think it was when the lumber mill was the dictator of terms. That’s what they put out, so that’s what it was.

Why was that ever accepted? I don’t care what size it was before milling. If I buy a 2x2 I want a 2x2.
