[Frankenkubota]

Picked this up yesterday. 600 + sf of tung and groove pine to cover the ceilings of 2 porches and a carport.

supposedly seconds.

about 5 inch reveal, 12 ft bds, 1/2 cost of lowe's and better product.

$6/board

Nice score! That's going to look great once it's up.

Seconds.....wow, seconds 'round here are firewood grade, good score
Just as a somewhat rough comparison, we pay Can$6.18 (US$5.00) for a 6'-1 x 6 PT fence board, if it's actually 5/8" thick you're doing good, not split even better.
An 8' length of 1 x 6 T&G pine Can$14.22 ( US$11.40)

Yes, that's some nice looking seconds.

This is going to be a ramp to help get my FIL in and out of the house. Just shy of $1000.00.

They should exorcise the high prices not the lumber

And ruin the capitalistic money grab? I don't think so.

Because things are cheaper in non-capitalistic places..

Go and try to buy a dishwasher, a fridge, a freezer, etc. Then get back to us.
