Got my delivery of lumber yesterday and wanted to get started building today. I think thats going on hold now.
Here are some pictures of the 2x6's I got. Just terrible quality.
Out of about 200 2x6's I got, I bet I'd be lucky to find 20 that didnt have a rounded or bark edge. And probably 50% of them have less than 1/2 the width on the stud face. Dont do any favors trying to nail sheething on, especially if It happens to be a stud where there is a seam and 2 sheets need nailed to it.
I called the place back where I got them from, they were not as helpful as I would have liked. They offered to pick them back up and offer a full refund, but I still need lumber. They said all their framing lumber is going to be like that, and they will have a manager call me on monday to see if they can work something out and possibly hand pick some better boards for me.
Look at the pictures. What would you guys do? am I over-reacting? I dont want to be fighting crap lumber this whole project. When I buy a 2x6, is it too much to ask to get an actual 2x6? instead of lumber that you could hardly make a good 2x4 out of?
