Went to a few HD's and Lowes in my area to get a dozen 2x4 studs for a
project. After going through the piles for 15 minutes at each place
to find straight lumber, I gave up. Most of the stuff was twisted. (Bowed
studs I could have used in a pinch).

Have you all had similar experiences? Do you have better results at a
lumber yard even though its usually alot more expensive?
Thanks.

Yes use steel studs if it is a non bearing wall. Real simple to use and you
can pick up ten studs with out help!
