You must be one heck of an amateur meteorologist to predict a flood, and the rain causing it, 4 months in advance for Houston.




I'm going with preprimed pine boards from HD and glued up yellow pine
panel blanks for shelves from the same.

I have cut up all of the preprimed boards and must say that I'm
impressed with the quality of the product. 1x8x8' boards were just
under $17 each and 2 will do it.



5.33 board feet. $3.19 per board foot. I'm not up to date on wood pricing. Is that a good price for pine? I assume its Firsts and Seconds grade.

Aren't most of those preprimed pine boards made from fingerjointed narrower stock
like most paint-grade pine moulding?

If so, you need to be careful where you cut/rip it. Depending on how
well it was glued, you might run into issues if you cut too close to a
joint. BTDT


No, this is well manufactured. The wood under the primer looks great.

My wood (poplar) looked good too, although it was easier to tell since
it wasn't primed. ;-)

My issue was the result of ripping it to close to one of the glue joints
and then routing a groove for a panel. When I inserted the panel it split
along the glue joint for about 10".

Bad quality product. The joints are so tight on the product that I am
using you have to look for the joints/splices.

I put glue in the split and applied pressure with some homemade "clamps":
