I just bought a bunch of 2x4s to build a partition wall in the
basement around our washer and dryer. I was ready to start building
the wall when I realized that Home Depot forgot to label the 2x4s so I
know which end is the top and which is the bottom. It figures Home
Depot would forget to put the "top" arrow on them. I thought I'd save
a few bucks going to Home Depot, but next time I'll go to a real
lumber store.

Take each 2x4 and stand it on end. The end on the floor is the
bottom. The HD people should have given you a copy of the instruction
sheet that is supposed to be handed out. BTW, if you need to shorten
them, only the bottom end should be cut off. Also are you sure you got
"vertical" 2x4s, the horizontals are different !

LOL... nicely done Reed.

I knew someone would find the right way to respond.
